MANKATO, MN – For the first time, a South Dakota native has signed a contract with an NHL team.
Walker Duehr is from Sioux Falls. He played four seasons for Minnesota State, scoring 25 goals and 26 assists. Duehr had 10 goals and seven assists this year in his senior season. His college career ended on April 8 when the Mavericks lost in the NCAA Frozen Four to St. Cloud State. But soon after that, the Calgary Flames offered him an entry-level contract.
Duehr is expected to join the Flames’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Stockton Heat.
