Walleye add another defenseman in Kurt Gosselin

Defenseman Kurt Gosselin has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the 2022-2023 ECHL season.
Gosselin, a native of Brighton, Michigan, has not appeared in a game since skating for the ECHL Cincinnati Cyclones in the 2019-2020 season. During that season, the left-handed shooter had six goals, 12 assists and 18 points over 47 games.
The 27-year-old made his pro debut following the completion of the 2018-2019 season at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In his pro debut, he scored three assists in eight games for the Rochester Americans of the AHL. He also skated in seven games for the Cyclones during the 2018-2019 season with seven points (5G, 2A).
“A couple of years away from the game, Kurt will look to get back into the form he was in previous to his break from hockey,” said Walleye head coach Dan Watson. “He is reliable, has a good shot, can think the game well, and we look forward to working with him.”
Before joining the pro ranks, Gosselin spent four years with the University of Alabama Huntsville, in which three of those he reached double-digit points. As a sophomore, he collected nine goals and nine assists in 30 contests, which landed him on the WCHA Third All-Star Team. In total the defenseman collected 58 points (20G, 38A) over 118 games in his college career.
Gosselin has been hockey director at Kensington Valley Ice House at the University of Alabama in Huntsville since July 2021, co-founder of MadeInMichigan Hockey since March 2017, and a part-time firefighter for the Brighton (Michigan) Area Fire Department.
