SCSU's Lauridsen Sign's with Philly

SCSU'S Junior defenseman Oliver Lauridsen has opted to forego his Senior year of eligiblity by signing an entry-level contract with the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers.

This is a fairly significant loss for the Huskies next year as Oliver had finally come into his own this season. He had some rocky games in November, but has really been solid otherwise. He finished the season with 1 goal and 8 assists, and was right around a +8 (not sure where he ended up as I can't get on the stats site for SCSU). His numbers aren't stellar, but he's big and looks to be coachable. He will be missed.
