The Northeast Generals, proud members of the NAHL, are thrilled to announce that standout Defenseman Emerson Miller has committed to play NCAA Division 1 hockey at Tennessee State University!
Miller is in his 3rd year playing for the Northeast Generals and has been a stalwart on the blueline since his arrival. His ability to shut down opponents and also push the rush has made Emerson invaluable to the Northeast Generals. In 118 games as a General Emerson has 6 goals, 25 assists for 31 points while being a plus 24.
Head Coach Bryan Erikson said “I am incredibly proud of Emerson. He is one of the best people to ever wear a Generals uniform. Just a great human being. He picks his teammates up with his enthusiasm and his work ethic. He is a big role model for our younger players and veterans as he comes to the rink everyday ready to work. On the ice he offers such a steady presence and he has gotten better every year. He has become a true leader on the blueline and a player that we love being able to play in key situations. Tennessee State is getting a great great person but also a phenomenal hockey player that will allow TSU to create a great culture in year 1.”
Emerson Miller added “Reflecting on my time with the Gens, I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences and lessons that have shaped me both on and off the ice under Coach Erikson and Coach Murray. The challenges, the growth, and the memories have all prepared me for this next chapter. I’m beyond excited to continue my journey at the Division 1 level with Tennessee State University, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds as I take my game to the next level.”
Associate Head Coach Aaron Murray added “getting to work with Emerson everyday has been a true pleasure. He is always so positive and willing to take any coaching I throw at him. He is a tremendous person and player and TSU is getting an impact person and impact player. Incredibly excited to watch Emerson the rest of this season and then to see him help build TSU into a premier program.”
