Monroe: Toledo Walleye sign defenseman Kurt Gosselin

Per the Toledo Blade’s Mark Monroe, the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye have made a late-summer signing to bolster their blueline:

The Toledo Walleye have signed defenseman Kurt Gosselin for the upcoming season. Gosselin, a native of Brighton, Mich., has played in 54 games in the ECHL over two seasons. He has produced 25 points with 11 goals and 14 assists.

The 27-year-old last played for the Cincinnati Cyclones in 2019-20. He finished with 18 points (6 goals, 12 assists) in 47 games that season.

Gosselin made his pro debut at the end of the 2018-19 season when he had three assists in eight games for the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. He also skated in seven games for the Cyclones and had seven points (5 G, 2 A).

“A couple of years away from the game, Kurt will look to get back into the form he was in previous to his break from hockey,” Walleye coach Dan Watson said. “He is reliable, has a good shot, and can think the game well.”

The 6-foot-1 and 201-pound defenseman played four years at the University of Alabama.

Continued; expect more signings as Monroe reports that the Walleye only have 11 players signed right now.
