West Chester Wolves U18 Welcome Back Forward Cooper Rodgers

The West Chester Wolves U18 Academy are proud to announce the return of forward Cooper Rodgers for the 2025–26 season.

Rodgers, an 18-year-old from Phoenixville, PA, brings size, scoring touch, and leadership to the Wolves’ lineup. Standing at 6’3”, the right-shot forward posted 19 goals and 26 points in 41 games with the Wolves U18 squad last season, while also making an appearance with the Wolves’ USPHL Premier team.

Head Coach Jacob Smulevitch spoke highly of Rodgers’ return: “Cooper was a key piece of our U18 group last year. His size, skill, and compete level make him a difference-maker every time he’s on the ice. We’re excited to have him back and expect him to play a big role for us again this season.”

With his offensive ability, experience in top programs such as the Philadelphia Little Flyers and Boston Hockey Academy, and familiarity with the Wolves, Rodgers will also be leaned on as a leader both on and off the ice this year. His presence will be vital in setting the tone for the U18 squad’s success.
