F Zach Franko, a second-round selection by the Kelowna Rockets, has committed to attend Bemidji State and play for the Beavers. Franko, 16, is in his first season with the MJHL’s Winnipeg South Blues. Franko was in training camp with the Rockets, but chose to go home and keep open his options. "Not everyone makes it to the NHL, ultimately that's my goal, but you need something to fall back on," Franko told the Winnipeg Sun. "I'm getting my education paid for, so it couldn't be better. It was tough when Bemidji offered me the scholarship, but ultimately it came down to my decision and I have no regrets." He expects to play in the MJHL at least through next season.
