HERMANTOWN — Former Hermantown defenseman Beau Janzig recently announced his intention to play NCAA Division I college hockey at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
“I’m very honored and proud to announce my commitment to further my education, serve my country and play Division 1 hockey at the Air Force Academy,” Janzig wrote on Twitter Tuesday. “Thank you to my family, friends, coaches and teammates who helped me along the way!”
Janzig is on the 2023-24 roster of the United States Hockey League’s Sioux Falls Stampede after the South Dakota club took him with a seventh-round selection in the USHL Phase II Draft in June.
