Fanning to Bowdoin College

Hooksett, NH - The New Hampshire Jr Monarchs are proud to announce Jeff Fanning will be heading to Bowdoin College this fall. A first year player with the Monarchs, Jeff has been steady all season long and has played both center and right wing. The 6'3, 210 forward has scored nine goals and added six assists for fifteen points in thirty EJHL games. Currently Bowdoin is leading the NESCAC with a 10-5-2 record and are 13-5-3 overall. Former Monarchs Ryan Blossom is leading the team in scoring.

"Jeff will have an immediate impact at Bowdoin and has made a great decision that will impact not only his next four years, but the rest of his life," stated Head Coach Sean Tremblay. "I couldn't be happier for him and know that he will fit into Coach Meagher's team immediately. Jeff has been great for us this season and continues to develop each week. He has great hands and scoring ability and when he uses his big frame is very hard to defend down low. He will have a great career at Bowdoin."

Jeff was equally excited and offered, "I am really looking forward to attending Bowdoin College next year and playing in such a competitive league as the NESCAC. Bowdoin is a perfect fit for me with its great hockey program and the support it receives from its students, administration, and community. Playing both hockey and receiving such a great education from Bowdoin is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. I look forward to the entire experience and await all of the challenges I will face both on and off of the ice."

Fanning is sure to crack double-digits in goals with six EJHL contests remaining and is looking forward to helping the Monarchs garner another EJHL Championship. Currently the Monarchs are 34-4-1 in the EJHL and are 43-5-1 overall.
