Danbury, CT – The FPHL’s Danbury Hat Tricks Head Coach and General Manager, Bill McCreary, announced the team has acquired forward, Nicola Levesque, who will also be the first Player/Assistant Coach in team history.
Levesque, a native of Trois Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, will be an offensive threat against any opponent in the league. He is a career point-per-game player at the FPHL level, notching 58 points in 56 regular-season games. Levesque is 6’2 and 190 lbs, and not only brings considerable skill to the ice, but he also plays an edge to his game and won’t hesitate to stick up for his teammates.
“There are many great qualities to Nic’s game, but what I really like is that he is tough to play against,” McCreary said. “With the game evolving at every level, a player like Nic allows us to play with speed, skill, and toughness. That’s Danbury hockey, and that is our expectation. Defend our teammates. Defend our city.”
Levesque previously helped guide the Watertown Wolves to an FPHL Championship in 2017-18. He also has experience in both the SPHL with the Huntsville Havoc, and in the LNAH, one of the toughest professional leagues in the world.
During the 2017-18 season, Levesque recorded 3 goals and 11 assists in 10 regular-season games for the Wolves. He also posted 1 goal and 5 assists along with 15 PIMS in 6 playoff games.
“I am thankful for this amazing opportunity,” said Levesque. “I am truly honored to be part of this organization and to have the chance to play in this great hockey city. I always loved to come to play and compete in Danbury because of the atmosphere the fans created, and I am happy to be on the good side now. I am looking forward to the start of the season and working towards this exciting new chapter of Danbury hockey and most importantly, bringing a championship back to Danbury!
“I can’t wait to meet the team, the organization, and the best fans in the FPHL,” Levesque added. “Danbury has always been known to have a winning mentality and we plan on keeping it that way!”
Levesque will be on the ice when the Hat Tricks open their season against the Port Huron Prowlers on Friday, October 25th at the Danbury Ice Arena.
Season tickets are $290 which includes complimentary parking, a food credit, and a beverage. To secure your seats, contact Mitch Beck at mbeck@danburyice.com.
