URBANDALE, Iowa - Des Moines Buccaneers forward Henry Bartle announced his commitment to play NCAA Division I men's hockey at Michigan Tech University.

"I am very happy for Henry and his family on his commitment to both a great school and a great program in Michigan Tech," said Des Moines head coach Matt Curley. "He has come a long way in his development since joining our team last year and I am proud to see him earn this opportunity."
