The Colorado Avalanche continued their fun trend of showing how much they actually like the NCAA by selecting Nathan Clurman, who is a Notre Dame commit but will play in the USHL next season, with the 161st overall selection in the sixth round.
Clurman is a 6’2″, 198-pound defenseman who is a right-handed shot and spent the last season playing at the Culver Military Academy Prep School. He registered four goals, 12 assists for 16 points in 20 games played.
Clurman is a Boulder, Colorado native who was ranked 187th among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting.
