Head Coach Gerry Fleming: “We are thrilled to bring two high-character and talented individuals that will help us put the puck in the net this season. The big reason I chose to come to the Heartlanders was to be close to family, join a new program and be coached by an awesome person in Gerry.”
They were excited and started celebrating on the phone. Jack Billings: “When I signed the contract, the first people I told were my little sister and older sister.
It’s a great fit and I’m excited to get going.” Obviously with COVID it was a long year being away from hockey last season but when Iowa offered the contract I got good vibes from Coach Gerry and assistant Derek Damon. Jack is a great person and a great player and I can’t wait to reunite with him. I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment in my life. That same season, Billings topped Niagara with a personal-best 12 goals.īen Sokay: “It’s amazing to sign. Both look to translate a solid amateur career to the pro game Sokay scored a career-best 11 goals for Niagara in 2019-20. Billings finished his NCAA career in 2020-21 and Sokay graduated in 2020. The two were teammates at Niagara University for two seasons (2018-20) and linemates during the 2019-20 campaign. They are the second and third players to join the Heartlanders’ inaugural squad as the team prepares for the season opener at Xtream Arena on Fri., Oct.
