The Razorback Hockey team is proud to announce that Collin Young has formally committed to Arkansas.  Said Young, “I am very excited to be joining the University of Arkansas and Coach Gallini during their first year at the division one level.  I have heard nothing but great things about the program and I believe Arkansas has a solid foundation set to win a national championship.”  A 5’8″ winger from Sugar Land, Texas, Young played two years of junior hockey.

In 2013-14, Young played the Texas Brahmas where in 38 games he scored 6 goals and notched 19 assists.  This season, Young served as team captain for the Springfield Express (WSHL) where he played forty games and helped lead the Express to the second round of the playoffs.  Young added, “I look forward to doing whatever I can to help this program be successful on the ice while furthering my education.”

Since 2009, the Arkansas hockey program has amassed an overall record of 161-48-4, including three trips to the Division III National Tournament and five SECHC conference playoff tournament championships.  The team’s home games are played at The Jones Center for Families in Springdale.
