Muskegon Lumberjacks News Release


TAMPA BAY, FL - The Muskegon Lumberjacks are excited to announce that two alumni will represent the Muskegon Lumberjacks organization in the upcoming NCAA Division One Men's Ice Hockey Frozen Four. Boston College and Adam Gilmour will take on top-seeded Quinnipiac, while Christian Wolanin and the University of North Dakota will battle Denver University in the second Frozen Four matchup. Gilmour and Wolanin are the two Lumberjacks alumni to qualify for the frozen four this year, after 17 former Muskegon players representing ten different schools were eliminated during the 16-team Men's Ice Hockey tournament.

Gilmour, an Albany, New York native, led the Muskegon Lumberjacks in scoring during the 2012-2013 regular season. The forward scored 19 goals and collected 28 assists in 64 games during his first and only season in the USHL. Prior to the 2012-2013 season, Gilmour was the 98th overall pick by the Minnesota Wild in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Currently in his junior year at Boston College, Gilmour has scored 12 goals and notched 14 assists in 40 games. Gilmour registered one assist in two tournament victories to help the Golden Eagles to their second frozen four appearance in the last three years. In 118 career games with Boston College, Gilmour has netted 28 goals and notched 45 assists for a total of 73 points.

Wolanin, a native of Rochester Michigan, spent two seasons with the Muskegon Lumberjacks, and helped them to their first ever Clark Cup Finals appearance during the 2014-2015 season. The defenseman spent the second half of the 2013-2014 season in Muskegon after being acquired in a trade with the Green Bay Gamblers. In 88 career regular season games with the Lumberjacks, Wolanin scored 19 goals and recorded 43 assists for a total of 62 points. In 12 postseason games with the Lumberjacks, Wolanin scored three goals and collected five assists. Following the 2014-2015 season, the Ottawa Senators drafted Wolanin 107th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Wolanin is currently in his freshman year at the University of North Dakota, and in 31 games has netted four goals and notched 11 assists for 15 points.

Top-seeded Quinnipiac will take on Adam Gilmour and Boston College in the first frozen four matchup this Thursday April 7th, at 5 p.m. in Tampa Bay, Florida. Following the conclusion of the first semifinal game, the University of North Dakota will host Denver University. Both semifinal games can be seen on ESPN2. The National Championship game will take place on Saturday April 9th, at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN.
