The Colorado Springs Tigers are pleased to announce that Collin O'Hearn of the 16U AAA Team has signed a tender to play for the Odessa Jackalopes in the North American Hockey League for the 2017-2018 season.

O'Hearn, a 6'2" center, is the leading scorer and has amassed 20 points in 22 games for the 16U AAA team this season.

Tigers 16U Head Coach, Cody Campbell has this to say: "Collin is a big, strong kid who does a great job of protecting pucks and getting to the scoring area. His size and grit will allow him to compete in the very tough South Division of the NAHL. Having coached for Odessa under current Head Coach Greg Gatto, I feel Collin will be a great fit for a program that is committed to winning and moving players on to the Division 1 level."

"Odessa is a great organization with a long track record of producing Division 1 players. I had the opportunity to go down and skate with them for a week of practice and felt right at home. When Coach Gatto offered me the tender it was a no brainer, everything just felt right," O'Hearn said.

O'Hearn continued to say, "I owe a lot to Coach Campbell and the Tigers organization as a whole. Playing here gave me the opportunity to be exposed to coaches and scouts at the next level, while playing for a coach that has both played and coached at the next level, and knows what I need to do to ensure that I am successful in Odessa and beyond."

Collin, a native of Coppell, TX, becomes the first ever 16U AAA player in the CSAHA organization to sign a NAHL tender.
