After a pair of years tending net for University Of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers‘ goaltender David Fessenden(41) has decided to step it up a level on a good opportunity through the transfer portal to join University Of New Hampshire Wildcats for some tough Hockey East action.
He had a tough outing as a freshman in limited use but last season, despite the poor 3-11-1 record basically looked to keep his team in contention most games with a 2.94 GAA and .910 SV%.
The massive 6’6″ 229 lbs. net minder put up his best numbers through 4 years of juniors in his final campaign for two year team, Northeast Generals, where he played a massive 44 NAHL games with a 20-13-8 record and 2.74 GAA and .915 SV%, and then had a decent little playoff run.
He committed to school just before this year started.
We fully expect the goalie, who could possibly just lie in net like the walrus in the Geico commercial to backstop his new club very effectively.
Having completed his senior year, the undrafted net minder is going to UMass Minutemen, where he could play himself onto some NHL radar to become an unrestricted entry level deal signing
We were very fortunate to be able to host a one question interview with David below.
