Our ongoing archive of notes on those athletes that have left the North Coast to attend university or play in leagues in other locations in North America.
Below is our listing of the current athletes that we know of to this point, that have taken their talents to other locales as part of their university or college experiences. We will offer up items of note on their travels as we come across them during the course of the upcoming sports seasons.
Updates will be part of the ongoing process as the various sports prepare for their season through the fall and winter months. You can offer up a heads up on who, is going where through our twitter feed or contact us by email at northcoastreviewpr@yahoo.ca .
Our notes on those Rupertites and others from the Northwest playing in the various levels of Junior hockey can be found here.
