Coquitlam Express forward Erik Udahl is heading back to the United States to continue his hockey career.
The 21-year-old skater has committed to play with the Salve Regina University Seahawks in the Div. 3 Commonwealth Coast Conference League in Newport, Rhode Island.
“We are very happy for Erik and his decision to play for Salve Regina and attend a great academic school,” said Express head coach Barry Wolff. “He faced a lot of adversity in the last 16 months in his career, with a season ending injury, and has found a way to put it all behind him and move forward.”
Udahl, who is originally from Walpole, Mass., had been with the Express for the last two seasons. However, because of injuries he was only able to take the ice in 44 outings, where he scored 10 goals and 10 assists.
