RPI Lands Defenseman Bradley Bell From Ontario

Defenseman Bradley Bell has committed to RPI for the 2015 season. The Sudbury, Ontario native is playing for his hometown Sudbury Nickel Barons in the NOJHL this season. Bell, an offensive minded defenseman, tallied eight goals and 14 assists in 44 games with the Nickel Barons last season.

Less than a week after receiving a verbal commitment from BCHL defenseman Jared Wilson, RPI coach Seth Appert has landed another quality blueliner. Bell has been on the radar of scouts for over a year now. He was drafted in the third round of the 2012 OHL Draft.
