Walsh Picked by Canadiens in 2009 NHL Entry Draft

HANOVER, N.H. - Dustin Walsh, an incoming forward at Dartmouth, was taken by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-2 centerman spent the past season tearing up the OJHL, posting a team-high 63 points in 44 games for the Kingston Voyageurs, including 32 goals. Walsh was chosen as the 169th pick in the sixth round.

Walsh will be one of three NHL picks on next season's men's hockey team. Walsh and fellow incoming freshamn forward, Mark Goggin (Glen Ellyn, Ill.), a Boston Bruins pick, and junior defenseman Joe Stejskal (Grand Rapids, Minn.) a Canadiens' selection.

Walsh and Goggin will also be joining big brothers, Nick and Connor, both sophmores on the squad.
