5’10”, 180 lb. LC Brock Higgs of the Kingston Voyageurs (OJAHL) has committed to RPI for the fall of ’10.
Higgs, who had originally committed to Canisius before decommitting last spring, was a member of the Canada East squad that played over the last week in the World Junior A Challenge in Summerisde, PEI. He had an 0-3-3 line there.
Higgs, a fifth round pick of the Kingston Frontenacs (OHL) in 2008, saw his stock shoot up late last season when the Voyageurs made a run for the Royal Bank Cup, and Higgs was on fire throughout the postseason, scoring 22 goals in 25 playoff games. He also added 13 assists.
Higgs, a native of Kingston, Ont., is a 5/4/92 birthdate. He has speed, good hockey sense, and is very competitive. He has good hands, too, but many of his goals come from hard work, from going to the dirty areas to score.
