Connecticut Whale News Release
HARTFORD, July 17, 2008: Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack have signed defenseman David Urquhart to an American Hockey League contract.
Urquhart, 23, completed a four-year career at McGill University in Montreal this past season, compiling totals of seven goals and 16 assists for 23 points, along with 75 penalty minutes, in 39 games. The Thorold, Ontario native captained the 2007-08 Redmen to the Ontario University Athletics championship, the first league title captured by McGill since 1946, and earned his third consecutive OUA All-Star nod.
Urquhart amassed career numbers of 23 goals, 84 assists, 107 points and 330 penalty minutes in 147 games while at McGill. The 6-0, 195-pounder earned Second-Team All-Canadian honors in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) in 2006-07, a season in which he registered four goals and 37 assists for 41 points in 42 games, becoming only the third blueliner in McGill history to be so recognized. Urquhart was also twice selected as the conference's nominee for the Randy Gregg Trophy, which goes to the CIS player who best combines hockey achievement with academics and citizenship.
Further honors for Urquhart included being selected as McGill's team MVP for 2006-07 and winning the 2008 Richard Pound Award, which salutes a graduating McGill student-athlete for outstanding proficiency and leadership in athletics.
