Re: Nescac '12-'13
NescacHockey.com is reporting that former Panther, Alex Walsh, will play for Colby next year.
Blaise MacDonald is not messing around. After completing his first year as Mules head coach, the former UMass-Lowell bench boss has already recruited 11 incoming freshman from prep school and juniors for the 2013-14 season. Now he has added a NESCAC transfer to that list in Middlebury defender Alex Walsh. The 6'1" 185 lb. defender had two goals in 24 games as a freshman for the Panthers in 2011-12, but did not make Bill Beaney's roster for the 2012-13 season.
Before Middlebury, the Basking Ridge, NJ native played in Swedish juniors in 2010-11, scoring eight points (3-5-8) and spending 44 minutes in the sin bin for Nacka HK. In 2009-10, Walsh played for the Delbarton School in New Jersey, where he scored 19 points (1-18-19). Also on that Delbarton squad, future Colby teammate Matt Gelnaw and recent D-I national champion Kenny Agostino. Yale's Agostino ended the season tied for the Bulldogs team lead in points with 41 (17-24-41) and the 140th overall pick in the 2010 draft was also a piece in the trade that sent NHL veteran Jerome Iginla from the Calgary Flames to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
