DETROIT -- Western Michigan hockey alum Danny DeKeyser has agreed to a six-year extension with the Detroit Red Wings, as announced by the team on Tuesday morning.
Prior to his NHL career, DeKeyser helped WMU to the 2012 Central Collegiate Hockey Tournament Championship and two berths in the NCAA Tournament. In his three seasons with the Broncos he played in 118 games, scoring 12 goals and racking up 37 assists.
