BUFFALO -- Incoming Western Michigan hockey freshman Wade Allison has been selected in the second round of the 2016 NHL Draft with the 52nd overall pick by the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday morning.
Allison, a 6-foot-2 forward, is fresh off being named MVP of the Clark Cup Playoffs after leading the Tri-City Storm to a USHL Playoff Championship. Allison, considered a power forward, was the top scorer in the playoffs, tallying nine goals and seven assist for 16 points in 11 games. During the regular season he got off to a slow start due to injuries but exploded in the second half and ended up with 25 goals.
