Union is looking ahead to its goaltending future.

The Dutchmen have received a verbal commitment from Joe Young of the Boston Advantage Midget AAA team for the 2014-15 season. Young, 18, had a 2.33 goals-against average a .932 save percentage and three shutouts last season. He was ranked 31st among goalies in the final NHL Central Scouting Bureau list, but wasn't drafted.

He will play for the Vernon Vipers of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League. Young, who is 6-foot-2 and 172 pounds, is described by U.S. Hockey Report as "having a good frame, tools, and the upside that goes with it."

By the time Young arrives at Union in two years, Colin Stevens and Dillon Pieri, who played for Boston Advantage Midget Major, will be seniors.
