USports Center Transfers To Bowling Green State
A talented Canadian center leaves USports for Bowling Green State, bringing his scoring and CHL talents to the NCAA ranks.
Teague Patton announced his transfer from Canadian USports to the NCAA. The center has departed Mount Royal University following his sophomore season for Bowling Green State University. Through 24 games, Patton put up 31 points (8 goals + 23 assists) making him second among Cougar players in assists and third in points.
This commitment makes Patton the third player with CHL experience in Bowling Green's pipeline . How have Canadian USports Transfers Impacted NCAA Hockey? As USports players have crossed over from Canada, their production has gone down in the NCAA.
We explore the reasoning and why the number of USports transfers will go down in years to come Patton is one of the first USports transfers heading south of the border this offseason. This trend and its impact is something I covered in depth a few weeks ago. The data I uncovered is that former USports players' point production dropped by an average of 10.
1 points from their Canadian totals. However, that is not to say the same fate befalls Patton. Instead, I believe he will adjust better to the NCAA than previous players.
