Luce spent his collegiate career with the Michigan Wolverines from 2016-2020. In 131 games, he had 14 points, three goals, and 11 assists. He proves he has the ability on the defensive side of the buck to be the right move for the Railers.
“I’m just really excited honestly, it’s going to be a great season,” Luce said. “I know a few guys on the team and I know that we have one goal in mind this year and that’s to win the championship… We’re going to show up ready to go right from the get go and have a very successful year. I’m really looking forward to playing in front of the fans there and getting to know the area a little bit better.”
