This is Austin Uecker’s third season with the Helena Bighorns. He’s tied for second on his team in goals scored so far this season. Last weekend he scored four goals during a two game series against the Butte Irish. On Friday, he scored one goal on a power play early in the third period.
Brooks Mitzel, Sabres head coach, talked about Niedert’s season so far. On Saturday, he completed a hat trick when he scored in all three periods. As an age-out, this will be his last season in the league.
Damon Hanson, head coach of the Bighorns, talked about his improvement throughout the years.
“Austin has had a hot start for our program this season. He’s a guy that’s been here for three years and has only gotten better and better. He is also a kid that we look for to be sound defensively, and he creates lots of offensive opportunities. We are lucky to have Uecker with us during his age out year.”
