The
’03 native of Portsmouth, NH is in the course of his second season of
junior hockey, and first on the Jap Hockey League (EHL) stage.
Holland’s first 12 months of juniors (2022-23) happened on the Jap
Hockey League Premier (EHLP) stage, along with his time break up between the
Railers Jr. Hockey Membership and the Chiefs.

Total up to now, Holland’s profession numbers stand at 29 factors in 41
profession video games within the EHLP, and three factors in his first 15 video games within the
EHL.

“Mike is a hard-nose, 200-foot participant, who competes each shift,” stated
Chiefs head coach and normal supervisor Greg Heffernan. “Brockport simply
bought a participant who focuses on course of over factors, and self sacrifice for
the betterment of the staff. He’ll thrive in Coach [Brian]
Dickinson’s program.”

Talking of the Brockport hockey program, the Golden Eagles have all the time
closely recruited gamers from the EHL, and look no additional for proof
then the 21 alumni at present on the roster.

As for subsequent fall, Holland is now certainly one of two EHL gamers which have
dedicated to Brockport to date this 12 months, as he’ll staff up with Connor McAleer from the Railers when he arrives on campus.

“God actually answered my prayers and felt that it was his will for me to
decide to SUNY Brockport,” stated Holland. “Once I toured SUNY Brockport, I
noticed first-hand their wonderful athletic facility, wonderful campus,
training, teaching employees and hockey program. Coach Dickinson is
great coach, and the gamers on his roster informed me so many nice
issues about how a lot he cares about them on and off the ice, and the way he
needs to assist them develop as college students and athletes. Coach Dickinson was
very open, sincere, and supportive to me and my dad and mom after we met.
One other factor that actually helped is he loves the kind of participant that I
am and is assured on what I can convey to his staff and to the college as
an athlete and pupil. I’m very grateful that God has led me to the
Connecticut Chiefs group to play underneath Coach Heffernan and the
different nice teaching employees. My teammates and coaches have actually helped
me to proceed pushing me to develop at my position and being a frontrunner, each
on and off the ice.”

Holland is the 2nd Chief in three years to decide on Brockport, as he’ll comply with the trail paved by Dominic Chirico again within the 2021-22 season.
