KOCHANOWSKI COMMITS TO BETHEL
The Mason City Toros are excited to announce that defenseman, Matt Kochanowski, has committed to Bethel University to play NCAA III College hockey.
The Apple Grove, Minnesota native joined the Toros in their inaugural season (2021/22) and played his entire NA3HL career with the Toros. Over two seasons, Kochanowski played in 71 games while racking up 10 goals and 55 assists for 65 points. Kochanowski was a steady pillar on the Toros blueline helping the team to two playoff appearances.
Former Toros Head Coach, and current North Iowa Bulls Head Coach, Nick Bruneteau, had this to say about his blueliner, “Matt is a fantastic kid, and we couldn’t be happier for him. His hard work on and off the ice was noticeable by everyone, and his dedication to his team and teammates were a big reason on why we had the success we did. We wish nothing but the best for Matt on his next step in his hockey career.”
The Toros play a preseason game against the Norwegian, Frisk Asker u20 on September 10. The Mason City Toros kick off their regular season in Breezy Point, Minnesota on September 15 & 16 against the Loons, and their home opener on September 22 vs. the Alexandria Blizzard.
