LINCOLN, Neb. — Lincoln Stars Forward Will Kortan announced his commitment to further his hockey career by playing collegiately at the United States Air Force Academy.

"I am honored to announce my commitment to further my education, serve my country, and play division one hockey at the United States Air Force Academy." Kortan said. "I want to thank my family, coaches, and teammates who have supported and helped me along this journey."

Kortan has played 51 games with the Stars over two seasons. The Lakeville, Minnesota native has recorded 10 points (6+4) in his USHL career.
"We are excited to announce Will's commitment to the Air Force Academy." Stars Head Coach Rocky Russo said. "Will is a very smart young man with an eye on division 1 hockey as well as his future opportunities outside of hockey. Going to the Air Force Academy allows him to pursue both of those goals simultaneously. Coach [Frank] Serratore is one of the very best coaches in the NCAA, and he will continue to help Will develop on the ice, in the classroom and in the community. I am confident that Will can be a tremendous addition to Air Force Hockey as well as the Academy "
