Titans defenseman Gonzalves-Helm makes NCAA commitment

The New Jersey Titans, proud members of the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL), are pleased to announce that defenseman Eyan Gonzalves-Helm has committed to play NCAA Division III Ice Hockey for the Rivier University Raiders. His commitment begins in the fall of 2021.

Gonzalves-Helm, 21, has twenty points (11 goals and 9 assists) in 25 games this season. The Englewood, NJ native leads all Titans defensemen in total points, goals, and plus/minus (+18).

He played in the NA3HL during the 2019-20 season for the Northeast Generals and L/A Nordiques. He also played in the NAPHL during the 2017-18 season for the New Jersey Jr. Titans.

“I would like to thank all the players and staff at the Titans organization,” said Gonzalves-Helm. “I also would like to thank my friends, family, Eric Sorenson and Sean Grievy for helping to make this commitment possible. I am looking forward to furthering my education as a student athlete at Rivier University."

“Eyan has been a great player for us all year,” stated Titans head coach Andrey Kapranov. “He has gotten better as the year has gone on and certainly has been playing his most consistent hockey at the end of the season when it matters most. Rivier got a good player that will only get better as he grows."

Gonzalves-Helm is the first NCAA commitment in the NA3HL Titans brief history.

Rivier University is in Nashua, NH.  The Raiders begin their inaugural season in the fall of 2021. Their head coach will be Eric Sorenson. They will be a member of the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC).
