Trail(BCHL) '93 defenseman Eric Walker committed to Northern Michigan for the 2011-2012 season. Walker has very good size for his age, and is playing regularly as one of the younger players in the league. It sounds like he could be a special player for NMU.

Meanwhile, another player from Anchorage will be playing in the WCHA, but not for hometown UAA. This time, it's Waterloo forward Scott Wamsganz, who committed to Colorado College, where he'll join fellow Alaskan Will Rapuzzi.
