As collegiate seasons have ended, ATO season has begun. The first signing for Texas is defenseman Tommy Bergsland, who just finished four years at Colgate. The Montana native was the Raider's leading defensive scorer with 24 points in 36 games. Colgate just finished their season with a loss to Dallas Stars draft pick George Fegaras' Cornell in the ECAC tourney.
Bergsland is likely to join the team on the road, given their lengthy upcoming Midwest swing.
Here's the release:
The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced today the club signed Colgate University defenseman Tommy Bergsland to an amateur tryout.
