After a very strong season which saw him score 21 goals and 66 points in 56 games, Kemptville 73’s forward Jason Tackett has committed to Ferris State University where he will suit up for the 2016-17 season.  The 5-11, 180 lb forward has exceptional vision and play-making ability while also taking pride in his defensive game.  A hard working all-round player who will have a chance to really show what he is capable of during his 2nd and final season next year as a 20-year-old.
