MLive’s Ansar Khan posted an article about Red Wings prospect and Moncton Wildcats goaltender Rudy Guimond today, noting that Guimond was headed back to the QMJHL as an “over-ager” in part because he couldn’t afford to head to Yale University. Tonight, the Winged Wheel Podcast on Twitter directs us to the following Tweet from College Hockey NXT:

Guimond confirms on Instagram that he’s committed to play NCAA Division 1 hockey for Harvard this upcoming season.
The 20-year-old goaltender went 16-and-0 in the regular season for Moncton after joining the QMJHL team from the USHL’s Cedar Rapids RoughRiders mid-season, and he went 8-and-1 in the playoffs as well. He stands at 6’4″ and a skinny 175 pounds.
