A 6-0 defenseman, Lizotte just completed a four-year career at St. Cloud State University. In 147 games with the Huskies, Lizotte scored 10 goals and 36 assists for 46 total points. He was also a part of St. Cloud State's NCHC Frozen Four championship in 2016 and helped the Huskies win the NCHC's regular season title in back-to-back seasons in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
Lizotte topped the Huskies in plus/minus during his junior year (+20), and he was named to the All-NCHC Academic Team in all four of his years at St. Cloud State. He is one of six former SCSU players to have signed professional contracts at the end of the 2018-19 season.
The Huskies (30-6-3, 19-2-3 NCHC) were ranked as the nation's number one team 16 weeks over the 2018-19 season and entered the 2019 NCAA Division I tournament as the overall number one seed for the second consecutive season. The Huskies finished a very productive season, which included 30 wins (3rd in the team record) and set a new school record for fewest losses in a year with six. SCSU won the 2018-19 NCHC regular season title for the second consecutive season and also set a new team record with only 85 goals allowed this winter. The old record of 90 goals allowed was set in 2015-16. SCSU also set a season record for fewest power play goals allowed at 17, while the old record of 18 PPGs allowed was set in 2007-08.
