A day after picking up a commitment from Wyatt Head, Quinnipiac picked up another commitment this time when Green Bay Gamblers goaltender Evan Fear announced on his Instagram page that he was committed to Quinnipiac. The Gamblers also announced it in a press release as well. Fear is a 6'2, 196 pound goaltender that catches with his left hand. A native of Winnetka, Illinois which is just north of Chicago, Fear has played in three games so far for Green Bay going 1-2 with a 3.04 goals against average and a .898 save percentage. The commitment is possibly for the 2019-2020 season but also could be for the following year. He is the second committed USHL goaltender Quinnipiac has following fellow 1999 born Justin Robbins who plays for the Chicago Steel.
3.75 prospect Evan Fear commits to Quinnipiac. Coming off dominate year in NAHL, he’s a confident, technical goalie who moves well, can play the puck and tracks pucks through traffic.

While he was with Springfield he posted a 6-4 record in 12 games with a 2.67 goals against average and a .918 save percentage.
Before his junior career, he played midget hockey with one of the top programs in the country, the Chicago Mission who play in the High Performance Hockey League. His older brother Erich is currently a junior defenseman for the University of Denver and was part of the 2017 National Championship team. Congrats to Evan and welcome to Bobcat Nation.
