Toledo, OH - Forward Abbott Girduckis (gurr-duck-his) has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the remainder of the 2018-19 season.
Girduckis, a native of Bellville, ON, joins the Walleye after completing his senior season at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Serving as team captain this year he posted nearly one point per contest with 11 goals and 25 assists over 38 games played. Since 2015, Girduckis has appeared in 146 games for the Tigers with 93 points (30G, 63A). His point production increased in each season as a member of the Tigers.
