A long-time member of the Lethbridge Hurricanes has decided what his future holds.

Logan McCutheon has committed to Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. He says it is a great hockey school.

“They love their hockey at [Quinnipiac] and it’s a good program that won it a couple of years ago, so I think it’s really exciting and I just want to go there, step up and establish myself, it’s something that I’m really excited for,” said McCutcheon. “It’s going to be different; there is a lot of excitement and definitely some nerves, so it’ll be a change, but I think I’ll adjust well and have a good time.”

The 21-year-old was originally drafted by the Hurricanes in the third round (60 overall) in the 2019 WHL Prospects Draft.

He spent six years with the Canes and appeared in 299 career regular season games, amassing 147 points (23g-124a) along with 32 penalty minutes.

McMutcheon also competed in 28 playoff games through four seasons, adding 10 points (1g-9a).

The 5’9, 162-pound defenceman registered 38 points (9g-29a) along with 10 penalty minutes and a plus-19 rating in his final season with the Hurricanes in 2024-2025. McCutcheon finished the season eighth in ‘Canes scoring and third in defencemen scoring, behind Noah Chadwick and Caden Price.

“Being a Hurricane meant everything to me,” added McCutcheon. “Ever since the draft, I was welcomed by everyone here and to be able to be a Hurricane for my entire career, I couldn’t have asked for it any other way. It’s been unbelievable.”

He ended his junior career fifth in terms of the number of games played for the Hurricanes (299), while ranking second in games played among the team’s defencemen.

During his ‘Canes career, McCutcheon was named the winner of the Joan Kobal Memorial Award for Perseverance, Dedication and Sportsmanship (2023-24), Rookie of the Year (2021-22), Hardest Working Player Award (2024-25) and a two-time winner of the Hurricanes Scholastic Award (2020-21, 2021-22).
