Deck wants summer to end, start season in Stockton
Most of us want the summer to last as long as possible, especially considering how unforgiving a Prairie winter can be, but Nathan Deck wants the summer to fly by so he can start his professional hockey career.
After spending four years with the Prince Albert Raiders, the 21-year-old Deck inked a deal with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL on Thursday.
“I’m really excited, actually — I wish the summer was over and I wish I was down there right now,” Deck said.
The Sedley, SK native played 272 games for the Raiders in his four years with the team, putting up 118 points in that span including 18 in 60 games in his final season last year.
