Red Bank Generals goaltender Braxton Singleton is extremely excited that he has made his commitment this summer to the NCAA’s New England College.
“I started speaking with NEC over the summer. They told me they really like my compete level and game sense, which I take a lot of pride in,” said Singleton, a 2004-born goaltender from Edmonton, Alb.
He just completed his first and only season with the Generals, a new team in 2024-25. He had previously played with the Hampton Roads Whalers in the USPHL Premier and Elite conferences.
He is excited to be joining the Pilgrims, who will play their first season as members of the new Little East Conference.
“NEC is a top-notch program. They treat their players like pros, and the facilities are second to none,” Singleton said. “Away from the rink, it’s also a great school with an academic program that fits my needs perfectly.”
Singleton played in a career-high 30 games this past season, going 18-8-2-1 with a .923 save percentage. In the playoffs, he registered a .921 save percentage, staying consistent.
“Playing for the Red Bank Generals was a dream come true. The coaching staff truly cares about every single guy and does whatever it takes to help you succeed and prepare for the next level,” added Singleton. “The facilities are among the best in the country, and choosing to play in Red Bank was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
Being a three-year USPHL veteran, Singleton was thankful to the league as a whole for providing the platform for teams to succeed and players to advance to higher levels.
“Playing in the USPHL was huge for my development and exposure. The showcases were awesome for getting in front of coaches and showing them what you could do,” he added. “It gave me the chance to play against the best of the best in the country, which helped my game grow a lot.”
With a midsummer commitment, he’s going to be ramping up his training even more to be ready to be the best player he can be for the Pilgrims from the time of his arrival at the Henniker, N.H., campus of New England College.
“This off-season, I’m really focused on gaining more explosive power in my movements around the crease and holding my edges,” said Singleton. “I’m also working on controlling my depth. I believe these are the things that will help me thrive and make an impact right away at the NCAA level.”
The USPHL congratulates Braxton Singleton, his family, the Red Bank Generals and New England College for his commitment.
