MINNEAPOLIS – As the top-ranked Gopher men's hockey program prepares to start the second half, head coach Bob Motzko has announced that forward Colin Schmidt has been added to the 2020-21 roster.
A native of Wayzata, Minn., Schmidt spent the 2019-20 season at Union, skating in 32 games as a freshman and recording five points (one goal, four assists). The forward earned AHCA All-America Scholar and ECAC Hockey All-Academic honors with the Dutchmen.
Prior to starting his collegiate career, Schmidt spent the 2018-19 season with the Jamestown Rebels in the NAHL, notching 27 points (eight goals, 19 assists) in 41 regular-season games before adding three points (two goals, one assist) in five playoff games. He also appeared in six regular-season games and one playoff game with the Waterloo Black Hawks in the USHL between the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
As a prep, Schmidt played at Wayzata High School for former Gopher Pat O'Leary – helping the Trojans claim the 2016 MSHSL Class AA state championship. The forward earned All-Lake Conference accolades in each of his three seasons as a prep and was a finalist for the Mr. Hockey Award as a senior captain in 2018.
Schmidt will wear No. 16 for the Maroon & Gold.
