Huskies add size with new recruits

Michigan Tech announced Wednesday that two players have signed National Letters of Intent to join the program.

Milos Gordic (pronounced ME-lowsh GOR-dich) will join the Huskies after playing for the Langley Chiefs for the past three seasons. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound forward has scored 61 goals and added 59 assists for 120 points in 148 career games for the Chiefs. The Burnaby, B.C., native is currently enjoying the best season of his career averaging 1.3 points per game with 32 points (15 goals, 17 assists) in 25 games.

“Milos is a big, skilled forward whose game has matured over the past two years,” said MTU assistant coach Pat Mikesch.

Brad Stebner comes to the Huskies after spending the past two seasons with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Stebner, a 6-foot-3, 208-pound defenseman, has scored four goals and 21 assists for 25 points in 75 career games. This season, he has tallied a career-high 14 assists in 26 games.

“Brad is a bigger physical defenseman that will occupy that role in our defense over the next couple of years,” said Mikesch.

Gordich and Stepner join six other recruits who previously signed National Letters of Intent for the Huskies.
