Keegan Karki, a St. Cloud Cathedral sophomore hockey goalie who lives in Sartell, has become the first goaltender to sign up with next year’s USA National Team Development Program’s Under-17 Team.
Karki was recently featured in a Sartell Newsleader story after his team competed at the state tournament.
Next season, Karki will play goalie for the U.S. Under-17 team based in Ann Arbor, Mich. He will be the first goalie recruit. He has committed to playing with the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, for his college years. He will begin his UND studies and hockey in 2018.
The USA Team Karki was chosen for earlier had asked him to play in the Youth Olympics in Norway last winter, but Karki declined because he wanted to play another year of hockey at Cathedral with his friends and perhaps go on to state competition, which he and the team did.
Karki has a full scholarship to UND.
