Flames prospect Adam Fox returning to Harvard next season
One of the Calgary Flames' most promising prospects is staying in college.
Adam Fox will return to Harvard for his junior season in 2018-19, he told Postmedia's Wes Gilbertson on Thursday.
“The Flames have been really good with my development and with helping me get better along the way," he told Gilbertson. "But for right now, just staying and focusing on school and hockey, that’s my focus.”
The 20-year-old defenseman poured in 28 points in 29 games with the Crimson this season, and he piled up 40 points in 35 contests in 2016-17.
Fox was a member of the United States squad that won bronze at the World Junior Hockey Championship in January, and he was also part of the 2017 team that won gold at the tournament.
He was a third-round pick by the Flames in 2016.
