Roenick Jodoin Commits to Acadia
Axemen add another skilled forward
The Acadia Axemen are proud to welcome Roenick Jodoin to the hockey program. The speedy forward from Cornwall, Ontario joins the Axemen after 3 years in the OHL and last year in the BCHL.
We asked Roenick what enticed him to commit to Acadia, and he said, “I chose Acadia because of the coaching and reputation that its had and the opportunities that it presents, not only on ice, but academically too!”
The 5’8” forward was drafted by the Barrie Colts and joined the team in 2021-22 where he would score 17 points in 47 regular season games as rookie. He would follow that season up with 20 points in 56 games in 2022-23. In his 3rd season with the Colts, he had his strongest season statistically with 29 points in 61 games, for a combined 66 points in 164 games.
Last season, Jodoin would head West to the BCHL to join the Salmon Arm Silverbacks where he would score 38 points in 44 games, including 20 goals. He would also add 4 points in 4 playoff games.
Acadia Axemen head coach Darren Burns sees Jodoin as a strong fit for the team and the AUS saying, “Roenick has elite level speed which is tailor made for our ice surface. We feel this will be a big boost to our offensive punch. We also like his grit and determination to play in smaller buildings. He is an extremely passionate player who plays with a lot of heart. He’s an exciting addition to our lineup because we believe he is an extremely well rounded player.”
Jodoin is looking forward to hitting the ice in Wolfville, saying, “Fans can expect speed, skill, and hard work from me! I am playmaker and can score goals!”
Roenick is the third Axemen recruit announced for the upcoming season, as he joins forward Zak Lavoie and defenceman Brayden Schmitt. Stay tuned for more recruit announcements in the coming weeks! #GoAcadiaGo
