Thunderbirds product, Castle Rock native Hinton coming home with NCAA D-I Air Force commitment

 

After a stint in Maryland, Castle Rock native Trey Hinton is coming home.

Hinton, playing this season for the NAHL’s Maryland Black Bears, recently committed to play NCAA Division I hockey for the Air Force Academy (Atlantic Hockey America).

“I would like to thank everyone at the MBB family for their support to start the year,” said Hinton. “I’m truly grateful for the opportunity and I’m excited to keep pushing for a championship in Maryland. Go Black Bears.”

As of Jan. 13, the Black Bears sat in third place in the NAHL East Division, just three points out of first place.

“Trey has an extremely high hockey IQ, and has quickly developed into a complete player at the Junior level. He competes every time he steps onto the ice, and has a very high ceiling,” Maryland head coach Clint Mylymok said. “Congratulations to Trey and his family. He is going to a great program, with great coaches, and gets to play close to home. It is a great fit.”

In 35 games this season, Hinton has tallied six goals (three on the power play) and 14 assists for 20 points.

Back home, Hinton played for the Colorado Thunderbirds.
