KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan hockey team and head coach Andy Murray can announce that senior forward Ethen Frank, Josh Passolt and Paul Washe, along with sophomore defenseman Ronnie Attard, will all be returning for the 2021-22 season.
Frank, Passolt and Washe are all using their extra year of eligibility granted to them by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Attard, a Philadelphia Flyers' draft pick, has chosen to return for his junior season.
"We are excited and appreciative of the fact that seniors Paul Washe, Josh Passolt, Ethen Frank and sophomore Ronnie Attard have decided to return next season despite contract opportunities with NHL organizations," said head coach Andy Murray.
