As players from around the state look to move on to competitive hockey at the next level, a pair of Southwest Ohio High School Hockey League players have signed to play junior hockey in Massachusetts.  

Drew Schemmel, an All-Ohio Honorable Mention selection from Centerville High School and Ian Kuntz of Troy High School both committed to play next season with the Northeast Generals in the NA3HL. 

Both players are seniors and were First Team All-SWOHSHL selections and were recruited by the Generals after playing with the Dayton Falcons in the NA3HL. 

Schemmel and Kuntz both played several years of AAA hockey, first with Team Ohio, then the Dayton Stealth.

Kuntz also played for the Ohio Blue Jackets prior to joining the Troy team this year, while Schemmel played a total of three years for Centerville. 

The Northeast Generals are located in Attleboro, Massachusetts and have teams competing in the Tier II North American Hockey League (NAHL) as well as the Tier III NA3HL.
