The Tier 1 Hockey Federation is proud to announce that Woodbridge Wolfpack forward Liam Fournier has been tendered by the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the United States Hockey League.

Fournier becomes one of just a handful of players to earn a USHL tender this season and is the third THF player to receive a tender to the league, further highlighting the strength of the federation’s development pathway.

A dynamic forward, Fournier has made a strong impact with the Woodbridge Wolfpack this season. The 6-foot, 185-pound forward has consistently produced offensively while playing a key role in his team’s success. Prior to joining Woodbridge, Fournier skated with Seacoast Performance Academy, where he posted an impressive 87 points in 63 games, showcasing his ability to generate offense at a high level. (USHL)

This season, Fournier continued that momentum, recording strong numbers in both league and regular season play while establishing himself as a reliable, well-rounded forward. (USHL)

The USHL is widely regarded as the top Tier I junior hockey league in the United States and serves as a premier pipeline to NCAA Division I hockey and the NHL. More than half of NCAA Division I men’s hockey players have USHL experience, making a tender agreement a significant milestone in a player’s development. (USHL)

The tender process allows USHL teams to secure top young talent ahead of the draft, and in doing so, teams commit valuable draft assets to bring in players they believe can make an immediate impact at the next level. (USHL)

Fournier’s combination of skill, work ethic, and offensive ability has made him stand out throughout the season, and his selection by Cedar Rapids reflects both his individual performance and long-term potential.

The Tier 1 Hockey Federation congratulates Liam and the entire Woodbridge Wolfpack organization on this outstanding achievement and looks forward to following his continued development at the next level.
