Jules Donovan (F) commits to Utah M1

May 23, 2022 Salt Lake City, Utah

University of Utah Men’s Division 1 Hockey has received a commitment from Forward Jules Donovan for the upcoming 2022-23 season. Jules was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and started playing hockey at the age of 8 for the county rec league in Salt Lake. He played for the Salt Lake Lightning, Utah Golden Eagles, and Park City Ice Miners growing up. As a u16 Miner , Donovan, an alternate captain, helped win a state championship. In high school, he skated to 2 back-to-back state championships with the Salt Lake Stars. Graduating high school a year early, Donovan moved to Boston, Massachusetts to play for the Islanders Hockey Club u18. After a season with the Islanders, he has spent the last 2 years playing for the East Coast Wizards in the EHL, where he had 7 goals and 7 assists in 32 games. “I could not be more excited for the season to start,” said Donovan. “Jules is a powerful forward that will be a big addition to our offensive core. He is quick on his feet and will wear teams down. He has an incredible work ethic that translates into being extremely difficult to play against. He has the ability to shut down other teams while still being a strong offensive force. We are very excited to see what Jules can do for us next year,” Men’s Division 1 Head Coach Morgan Feenie said. Donovan plans to study Mechanical Engineering at the U. Utah Hockey would like to welcome Jules and wish him the absolute best in the upcoming season!
