December 27, 2020 The Merrimack men’s hockey team received a late-arriving Christmas present on Sunday night with the news that Alaska Fairbanks center Max Newton would be transferring to the program for the second semester. With injuries up the middle to Jordan Seyfert and Patrick Kramer, Newton will be a welcome addition. The senior had 27 points (9 goals, 18 assists) in 36 games for Fairbanks last season and has 38 points (17 goals, 21 assists) in 68 games over the last two seasons combined. Newton just turned 23 years old and he’s originally from Vancouver; he played his junior hockey in the BCHL.
