Kruse Commits to Air Force Academy

According to the official Express website, forward John Kruse verbally committed to the Air Force Academy for next year. He will join current teammate Stephen Carew, and former Express players Tim Kirby, Kevin Wright, and Scott Kozlak. This is great news in light of the injury that kept John out of the lineup for an extended period of time this season.

Congratulations John.

My take: While it's great news for John, it means he won't be back for next season with the Express. I don't fault him at all for making this decision, but I looked forward to having him be one of the veteran leaders on next season's Express team. The Express pipeline to the AFA is flowing, and you could see 25% of the Falcons lineup next season filled with Express alumni.

See you at the rink.

Congratulations, John!! After watching Carew and he this weekend, I'm sure they will work out nicely for AF.
