“Owen came in and made an impact right away. He brings maturity, leadership, and consistency every single day,” said R.C. Lyke, Head Coach and General Manager of the Wolves. “Fredonia is getting a complete player and an even better person.”
Before joining West Chester, Cross played for the Casper Warbirds (NCDC) and had a standout 2023-24 season with the Charlotte Rush (USPHL Premier), tallying 38 points in 40 games.
“Owen is a perfect example of what happens when you trust the process,” said Associate Head Coach and Assistant GM Tyler Casillo. “He’s earned this opportunity through hard work and perseverance. We’re excited to watch him take the next step in his career.”
Cross will join a SUNY Fredonia program competing in the SUNYAC, one of the most competitive conferences in NCAA Division III hockey.
