For Airdrie Hockey player Erik Pedersen, it has been a long road to the US College ranks, but earlier this fall, he enrolled with the Michigan Tech Huskies.

The former Airdrie Xtreme and Whitecourt Wolverine has only dressed for one game so far this season, and it was a good one.

His team scored a barrage of goals, en route to a 7-3 win over Alabama-Huntsville.

With the season still fresh, Pedersen will hope to make it to the playing roster when the Huskies take the ice on October 21, to face their State Rivals, the University of Michigan.
