BINGHAMTON SIGNS PRINCETONS JEREMIE FORGET

BINGHAMTON- The Binghamton Black Bears are proud to announce the signing of goaltender Jeremie Forget to the club's roster ahead of the weekend series against Port Huron.  

Jeremie is a native of Mascouche, Quebec.  The 6'1" goalie spent time in both Canada and the United States during his amateur career, playing for Carleton Place Canadians before heading to the NCAA ranks at Princeton.  

Forget is a graduate of Princeton University, where we was a member of the Tigers hockey team for all four years.  In his freshman year he appeared in six games, starting four and posted a 2-1-1 record.  As a Sophomore Forget elevated his playing time to 19 games, making 17 starts for PU and bolstered a .912 save percentage in his second year.  His junior season was cut due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but Forget came back for his senior season and finished the year with an 6-8-2 record.
