Vernon, BC: The Vernon Vipers are pleased to announce that Anthony Cliche has committed to Northern Michigan University for next season.
“This is Anthony’s third year with the Vipers and he has steadily improved throughout his time with the organization to a point where he is one of the most complete defencemen in the BCHL,” says Head Coach and GM of the Vipers Jason McKee. “This is a tremendous achievement for Anthony and his family and look forward to his continued contributions to our team this season.”
The Vallee-Jonction, QC product has suited up for 104 regular season and playoff games and counting for the Vipers. He has 13 goals and 34 assists during that time.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to pursue my hockey career at Northern Michigan,” says Cliche. “I’d like to thank my family and friends for supporting me as well as the Vernon Vipers organization for giving me a chance to play and grow my game.”
The Northern Michigan University Wildcats are an NCAA Division 1 program that plays in the CCHA Conference. They play out of the Berry Events Center in Marquette, Michigan. Former Vernon Viper Connor Marritt was the most recent Viper alumni to play for this program.
Please join us in congratulating Anthony and his family on securing his academic and athletic future!
