Washington State added more forward depth with Fairbanks, Alaska, native Joseph House committing to the lineup.

House is bringing tons of junior experience with him currently playing for the Butte Irish, but also formally playing for the USPHL Premier Rogue Valley Royals. The 19-year-old is the third forward added this offseason for the Cougs, joining four commitments in total so far for WSU hockey this spring.

Already joining a young team, House looks to add more youth to the massive depth of Washington State’s lineup in any way possible.
