UMD junior forward Rob Bordson has given up his final year of college eligibility and signed with the Anaheim Ducks. Bordson had 12 goals and 28 assists for 40 points on the year. He was one of four 40 point scorers for the Bulldogs this season. Rob signed a max-level two-year contract with the Ducks. He is expected to be with the Ducks until the end of the regular season as he is not eligible for the playoffs. Bordson said, "I had a pretty busy day and some tough decisions, but at the end of the day I've always wanted to play professional hockey. It was a tough decision leaving my hometown and college, but it was too good of an offer to pass up. Nothing would have been guaranteed for next year. I think it was time to move on and take that next step in my career. ... It was definitely very difficult. I love everyone at UMD. They were very professional about it, very supportive. They were very helpful. It was tough leaving them. Everyone wants to be a professional hockey player. I think it was the time to do it." This was a career year for Bordson with the Dogs. He had one goal and six assists in his previous two years with Duluth.
UAA freshman defenseman Lee Baldwin has left school early and signed with the NHL's New York Rangers. Baldwin had 1 goal and 9 assists for 10 points on the season.
