Springfield Jr. Blues News Release
It was announced today that former Junior Blues Defenseman and current Captain and USHL All Star Defenseman, Austin Coldwell has committed to the University of Alaska, Anchorage to play hockey during his college career.
Coldwell, who has worked diligently in college course work while playing hockey for the Des Moines Buccaneers of the United States Hockey League, stated this was the college opportunity he'd been looking for to further his academic and hockey career. "This", he said, "is the best fit for me as a player to pursue my education. I am really excited to play for such a highly ranked Division I program.
