St. Cloud State Men’s Hockey Adds Joe Rehkamp to Roster
St. Cloud State University men’s hockey coach Bob Motzko has announced that Joe Rehkamp (Plymouth, Minn./Breck) will join the Huskies’ roster for the remainder of the 2011-12 season. Rehkamp will be eligible to play in St. Cloud State’s upcoming series against Western Michigan University at the National Hockey Center on Dec. 29-30.
A 5-11, 180-pound forward, Rehkamp most recently played during the fall of 2011 with Waterloo of the USHL. In 23 games at Waterloo, Rehkamp had eight goals and six assists this season. He previously played two seasons of USHL hockey with Fargo, where he charted 14 goals and 16 assists with the Force from 2009 to 2011. At Fargo, Rehkamp played one season in 2009-10 under coach Steve Johnson, who currently serves as an assistant coach for the Huskies.
“Joe (Rehkamp) will be a great addition to our team,” SCSU coach Bob Motzko said. “His experience and skills will add quality depth to our offense.
“I really want to thank P.K. O’Handley and the Waterloo Blackhawks for their support in our dealing with Joe. It is very difficult to lose a player midway through a season and they acted with great class throughout the process. It really shows the quality and integrity of the program at Waterloo that they were able to help us out with the addition of Joe to our team.”
A four-year standout at The Breck School, Rehkamp helped guide the Mustangs to a Minnesota State High School League Class A title in 2009. Rehkamp gained All-State Tournament honors that season after posting three goals and five assists for Breck in tournament play that year. He is the son of Cindy and John Rehkamp of Plymouth, Minn.
“I am very excited to have this new opportunity to play at a higher level,” Rehkamp said. “It has always one of my goals to play in the WCHA. My Grandfather (Roger Rehkamp) played football at St. Cloud State and I have a lot of relatives that live in this area, so it will be great to play hockey here at the National Hockey Center.
“I feel fortunate that I was able to have a great experience at Waterloo and in the USHL. I want to thank them for helping me get this opportunity and achieve my goals as a hockey player.”
SCSU currently owns a 7-9-4, 5-6-3 WCHA record in 2011-12. The Huskies will resume play on Dec. 29-30 with a pair of non-conference games against Western Michigan University at the National Hockey Center. Both games have been designated as Youth Hockey Nights. All youth hockey players (grade K-8) who wear their team jersey to the game will be admitted FREE with a paid adult.
The St. Cloud Times Family Four-Packs will also be offered for these games. This special offer includes four tickets in the Plaza Park Bank Family Section for just $40. Call 1-877-SCSUTIX or 320-308-2137 for details.
