From Winkler to Long Island!
A huge congratulations to 2005-born defenseman Blake Matheson on his NCAA Division I commitment to Long Island University for the 2025-26 season!
A Turnbull Cup Champion with the Flyers, Blake put up 81 points in 109 games in a Flyers uniform, including 15 goals, 37 assists, and 52 points in 56 games last season.
“My time in Winkler played a major role in my development both as a player and as a person. I was fortunate enough to learn from an experienced and supportive coaching staff, play alongside a great group of teammates, and be part of such a supportive community. I’m forever grateful to the coaches, trainers, off-ice staff, billets, and everyone involved with the organization for giving me an amazing few years.” – Blake Matheson
This opportunity is so well-deserved, and we could not be more excited to see Blake take this next step in his career. Best of luck at LIU, Blake! You will always be a Flyer!
