The Salmon Arm Silverbacks’ top scorer last season, Taro Hirose from Calgary, Alta., has chosen to commit to the Michigan State Spartans for his college hockey career that will start with the 2016-2017 season.
“I would not have been able to achieve this without the help of my family, my teammates and the Silverbacks organization,” he stated. Hirose will remain a Silverback for one more year and look to build on his 50-point season from last year.
