After the Sault High Blue Devils, Metro played in Minot, ND under Jim

assistant coach, Metro helped four goalies in four years move on to
Division I schools and one goalie move on to a major junior team in the
Western Hockey League.
Terry Metro is son of Con and Grace who reside in Sault Ste Marie,
Michigan. Con Metro played for the first Lake Superior State Hockey

The Soo Indians have signed their second player for the 2009-10 hockey season. Matt Samuel from Three Forks, Montana, has committed to play hockey for us next year.

Coach Jerry Harwood comments that, "Matt is a solid player who will bring solid defensive play with skill and speed. He's going to make a great addition to strengthen this team."
Coach Corbiere, when asked why Matt would move from Junior Hockey to Midget AAA commented, "It's not always about the level of hockey you play for. You can play Junior hockey and get stuck there if you have no exposure. I can't say why, exactly, Matt chose to come here, but I can suspect that the opportunites for advance are much stronger with this organization that where he was playing prior. I, too, am very glad he committed to us.
Corbiere finished off is statement with, "I'm getting real excited about next year already and we have only two comittments, so far!"
