BOSTON - Northeastern men's hockey forward Grant Jozefek received a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA and will return for the 2020-21 season for the Huskies, announced Fernie Flaman Head Men's Hockey Coach Jim Madigan on Tuesday. Jozefek missed 28 games in 2016-17 and was granted an extra year of eligibility.

"I am extremely excited to learn that Grant will return to Northeastern next year and help lead our team," said Madigan. "Grant has been a key member of our program over the last four years and has helped us win three Beanpots, a Hockey East Championship and two NCAA appearances. He has established himself as a premiere player in Hockey East and the coaching staff is thrilled to have his leadership and offensive abilities on display again next year for the Huskies. We also want to thank Mary Mulvenna and our compliance department. Without them, none of this would have been possible."

The New Jersey native was a huge part of the Husky offense this season, recording eight goals and 10 assists, including a goal in the Beanpot title game against Boston University (2/10) and setting up the game winning goal in the first round of the Beanpot against Harvard (2/03). Jozefek is also part of the second winningest class in Northeastern history. The business major has 26 goals and 35 assists over the course of his career.
