Pilot Mound Hockey Academy is proud to announce that Male U18 Prep forward, Carsten Campbell, has officially signed his Letter of Intent with the Dryden Ice Dogs (SIJHL) for the 2025–26 season.

Carsten’s steady development, strong two‑way play, and commitment to excellence have made him a key contributor within the U18 Prep program and a deserving athlete of this next step in his hockey career.

A message from PMHA’s Male U18 Prep Head Coach, Anthony Florentino:

“Carsten is a player who has earned every opportunity through hard work and consistency. He approaches the game with maturity, attention to detail, and a willingness to compete in all areas of the ice. Whether it’s on the forecheck, in defensive coverage, or creating offense, Carsten plays a complete game and does the little things that coaches value.

His growth this season has been impressive. He has become more confident with the puck, stronger in battles, and more assertive in his overall game. Carsten is a dependable teammate, a respectful young man, and someone who represents our program with pride. The Dryden Ice Dogs are getting a player who is ready to take the next step, and I’m excited to see how far his work ethic will take him.”

Carsten has been a steady presence for the Buffaloes throughout the 2024–25 season. In CSSHL regular‑season action, he appeared in 32 games, recording 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points, along with 12 penalty minutes. His ability to play with pace, pressure opponents, and contribute in key moments made him a valuable part of the U18 Prep lineup.

He added to that performance in postseason play, contributing 1 goal in 3 playoff games, helping PMHA push through a competitive championship bracket.

Carsten’s commitment to the Dryden Ice Dogs marks an exciting new chapter in his hockey journey. His combination of work ethic, physical play, and steady development aligns well with the demands of junior hockey, and PMHA is proud to see him take this next step.

Congratulations, Carsten — the entire Buffaloes community is behind you as you move on to the SIJHL. Best of luck next season!
