“Throughout my hockey career I never really had a dream school.  I just knew wanted to play competitive college hockey.  I feel the MASCAC league is a great fit for me.  I was beyond excited when Worcester State offered me a spot.  I am really excited to continue my hockey career there.  I wouldn’t have been given this great opportunity if it wasn’t for my family, the New England Wolves program, the coaching staff and my amazing teammates who are like family to me”,  enthusiastically states Dillon
