Faced with the decision of playing Division 3 hockey in the United States or at a Canadian college near his hometown, Jonathan Ceci took the no-brainer.
The former Estevan Bruin has earned a scholarship from Simon Fraser University, located in Burnaby, B.C.
The 21-year-old North Vancouver native will study business at SFU and said the school’s academic reputation factored into his choice.
“It took a while there to figure out what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. I had a couple of options and this was the best fit for me,” said Ceci.
The Clan is coming off a British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League championship and looking south.
“They’re trying to get their hockey program up and going into the NCAA and it’s close to home for me, so it’s exciting,” Ceci said.

Also, here's the release from the SJHL on Joel Danyluk earning the Roger Neilson/Hockey Ministries International award earlier this week. Congrats to Joel. I've never met him, but have heard great things about him as a person.
ROGER NEILSON AWARD (FAIR PLAY AND DEDICATION TO THE GAME)
Joel Danyluk of the Estevan Bruins is the winner of the Roger Neilson award. This 20 year old goalie from Yorkton has a full understanding of what a community means to a hockey club. He works very hard to ensure that children who attended Bruin games received autograph's, souvenirs and the attention that they need to keep them coming back to the games. Joel was constantly involved in the community through school visits, helping out with minor hockey, volunteering at community events and making sure that this community knows that the Estevan Bruins Hockey Club as a whole depends on the community for support.
This award is voted on by the twelve coaches and team chaplains of SJHL teams, and it goes to the player who best displays fair play and dedication to the game of hockey. These attributes are both on and off the ice. The winner also has to show a commitment to the team chaplain program. This award is also known as the Hockey Ministries International Award
