Four Wisconsinites Make NAHL Marquette Rangers Initial 19 Player Roster

The Marquette Rangers have announced the first 19 of 23 players to be named to their roster. Four players from Wisconsin are included-Nic Weight from Northland Pines H.S., Chad Johnson from Wisconsin Dells H.S., Nick Condon who played at Wausau West prior to playing Junior B, and Cole Holmes of University School. Holmes has also been named to the Green Bay Gamblers 25-man roster, so it remains to be seen if he will make the final cut with Green Bay and/or where he will choose to play. Defenseman Brandon Busse from Stevens Point H.S. had been tendered by Marquette, but did not make the initial roster.
