New York Islanders Oliver Wahlstrom ‘College Is Not For Everyone’

On the path to a potential NHL career, New York Islanders 2018 Draft Pick, Oliver Wahlstrom, stopped off at Boston College. He played 36 games with BC and it was a struggle for the prolific scorer.

He finished with just eight goals and 11 assists which is nothing to write home about for someone with the potential of Wahlstrom. When Ollie went to Bridgeport, everything changed.

He had seven points in 10 games including the playoffs and looked much more comfortable. Looking back, Oliver Wahlstrom says that college wasn’t for him.

“Education is important but college is not for everyone, I guess,”

Personally, I loved college.
