The 6-foot-2, 201-pound forward has skated in 137 career NCAA games between Miami University (Ohio) and Quinnipiac University, amassing 68 points (24 goals, 44 assists).

The Bison expect Fletcher to bring his scoring ability and physical presence to the team, contributing both offensively and defensively.

With his size and physicality, he brings a strong presence on the ice, which can be beneficial in both offensive and defensive situations. Fletcher’s versatility will allow the team to utilize him in various roles. While his current stats show some room for improvement, his past performance suggests he has the potential to contribute significantly to the team’s success. Overall, Fletcher is anticipated to be a valuable addition as the Bison aim to improve their standings.
