Bandits NCDC forward Josh Vertentes committed to 2017 National Champions Norwich University for the 2018-19 season. Vertentes has had a strong showing for the Bandits this year and currently leads the NCDC in goals scored. A native of Rehoboth, MA, Josh played youth hockey with the Bandits and returned for the inaugural season of NCDC hockey.

Norwich University has a strong history of providing well-rounded and competitive athletic programs as an integral part of the educational process. Vertentes' strong work ethic, both on and off the ice, will undoubtedly make him an integral part of the Cadets line-up next season. The Bandits look forward to monitoring Vertentes' continued success as he moves to the next hockey level.
