The Helena Bighorns of the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) are proud to announce that forward, Mason Smith, has committed to play ACHA Division II college hockey for Weber State University (Ogden, Utah).
Smith spent two seasons in the NA3HL with the Helana Bighorns. The 2025-26 season was his best offensively.
During the 2025-26 season, he recorded 12 points throughout the entirety of the regular and post season. He had five goals and seven assists throughout 43 games.
Smith made an appearance in the Dixon Cup championships during the 2023-24 season. He played on the Colorado Springs Tigers 18U team. He also made an appearance in the 2026 Fraser Cup playoffs this past season.
“Mason was a two year player for our organization; just 10 games into his first year he had a knee injury. Coming back the following year, Mason was a big part of our success on the back end!” said Bighorns head coach Damon Hanson. “It was a pleasure and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
One of Smith’s best performances of the year came on Feb. 20 against the Great Falls Americans. He scored one goal and recorded one assist to aid in the Bighorns’ 8-4 victory over the Americans.
Smith is one of five players from the Helena Bighorns to make a college commitment this season.
