Defenseman Cam Kungle commits to Merrimack from the portal

Kungle spent his freshman season at Lake Superior State

Defenseman Cam Kungle committed to Merrimack out of the transfer portal on Friday.

The Warriors were looking to add a big, strong defenseman who can win battles down low and near the crease. Kungle is 6-foot-2 and averaged almost 18 minutes per game as a freshman for Lake Superior State last season.

In 37 games for the Lakers, Kungle had nine points (1g-8a). He was a +1 and had 33 PIMs.

Kungle was a two-year captain for Cranbrook in the BCHL. In 2022-23, he had 32 points (10g-22a) in 50 games. He’s from Red Deer, Alb. and played three seasons for the Cranbrook Bucks.
