Gudmandson’s North Stars opportunity secured his college spot
It’s a season that’s hard to forget for Michael Gudmandson.
Sparkling individual statistics. A division title claimed on the last day of the regular season. And most of all, lots of time spent with great friends.
It was three years ago when that season began for the goaltender from Sherwood Park, Alta., but it all began with uncertainty.
Entering his final year of junior A eligibility, Gudmandson was claimed by the Neepawa Natives of the MJHL, but after just seven starts, the team released the 20-year-old because of subpar team results and a desire to go younger.
