College Confidential: How Colin Felix became an important part of winning culture at UMass

Colin Felix

Every championship team needs players like Colin Felix. The UMass senior may not dangle his way up the ice and rip the puck under the bar or feed a teammate for a backdoor goal.

Merrimack captain Max Newton isn’t the biggest or fastest player on his team. He doesn’t have the hardest shot.
