Vernon, BC: The Vernon Vipers are pleased to announce that Matt Culling has committed to the University of Regina Cougars for next season.
"Matt has steadily improved throughout the season and has become a very dependable player in all situations," says Head Coach and GM of the Vipers Jason McKee. "The whole organization is extremely excited to see such a great kid get the opportunity to continue his education and hockey pursuits at the University of Regina."
Culling, the Regina product, gets a chance to return to his hometown to pursue hockey and academics. He is a 4-year WHLer, but has really found a home here in Vernon. He has a career high in points with 10 goals and 14 assists in 44 games.
"I'm very excited to go back home and play in front of my family and friends again," says Culling. "I'm grateful to be able to further my education with the program U of R has to offer."
Former Viper and current assistant coach Colton Sparrow spent two seasons at the University of Regina.
The Cougars play in USports which is one of 35 programs across Canada.
Please join us in congratulating Matt and his family on this accomplishment.
