The Hershey Cubs of the US Premier Hockey League are proud to announce the signing of forward Hunter Cameron. The Clarksburg, Maryland native comes to us after a successful season with the Washington Little Caps 18U AAA club and after playing four years with the Upper Montgomery Lightning high school team. Coach Boudreau had this to say about the signing of Hunter:
“Hunter was a player we were interested in from the start of tryouts. He comes from a good youth program that plays a competitive AAA schedule. Cameron did not disappoint on the ice, getting better as the camp went along. He carried himself like a mature and experienced junior player despite only playing youth hockey. We believe he will thrive on the ice and have a great rookie season”.
Congratulations Hunter and welcome to the chocolate and cream.
In his storied high school career Hunter finished by scoring 20 goals and adding 24 assists for 44 points. Hunter played both forward and defense for the Lightning during his senior season displaying his versatility. His leadership and determination helped Upper Montgomery win the Montgomery Hockey Conference Varsity Playoff Tournament.
Outside of high school hockey, Hunter played for the Washington Little Caps 18U AAA program that produced former Washington Capitals Jeff Halpern and USA Hockey Hall of Famer and long time Chicago Blackhawk Jeremy Roenick.
The Upper Montgomery program is proud of Hunter and looks forward to avidly following his junior hockey career.
