Toledo Walleye News Release
(Toledo, OH) - Forward Alden Hirschfeld has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the 2013-14 season.
Hirschfeld split last season between Providence in the American Hockey League and South Carolina in the ECHL. The native of Sylvania, Ohio scored eight goals with eight assists combined between the two stops. He also appeared in one game with Portland in the AHL following his senior season at Miami of Ohio in 2012.
"Alden has good size and scoring punch," Head Coach Nick Vitucci said. "He is a very smart hockey player that collected a lot of experience in his first pro season. He has the ability to play at the next level and will perform well here in Toledo."
Prior to turning professional, the 25-year-old appeared in 134 games over four seasons with the Miami of Ohio RedHawks. In those contests, Hirschfeld scored 35 goals while assisting on 35 others. He was a member of the 2011 CCHA Championship team and was Team Captain in the 2011-12 season. The 6'1", 205 pound forward skated for three years at Sylvania Northview High School prior to his college career with his last year there being 2005-06 season, a season in which the Wildcats reached the State Title game.
