As the spring flowers begin to bloom in Columbus, we are headed straight into college commitment season. Following a stellar season with the Mavericks, forward, Bailey Doust, becomes the third member of the 2021-22 roster to make his college hockey plans official. Doust will be taking his talents to the Empire State this fall as he will play ACHA Division 1 hockey for Oswego State, starting in the 2022-23 season.

The Jamesville, NY native joined the Mavericks roster early in the season after starting the year off with the Boston Jr. Rangers of the EHL. After making career stops with the Oswego Stampede (NA3HL) and Boston Jr. Rangers (EHL/EHPL), Doust spent his fourth and final season of juniors as a staple on the Mavericks roster. In 39 games with the Mavericks, Doust tallied 12 goals and 10 assists for a season total of 22 points.

Oswego State Head Coach, Travis Hyde, is looking forward to Doust's arrival on campus: "Bailey is a player I have known for a few years. I have watched him develop into reliable rolls at every program during his junior career. Bailey will bring some size and experience into the lineup, as well as a great ability to work around the net-front. He can play a hard, physical, but disciplined game and possesses the ability to play 200ft, something that is crucial in the success of our program. We are incredibly excited to bring Bailey on board."

The State University of New York at Oswego, located in north central New York on the shores of Lake Ontario, competes at the ACHA Division 1 level and are members of the NECHL conference.
