KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan freshman defenseman Zack Sharp was selected by the San Jose Sharks in the NHL Draft earlier today.
Sharp was taken in the fourth round and was the 124th overall pick. This is the fourth straight season WMU has had a player taken in the NHL Draft.
The Naperville, Ill. native played a key role in leading the Broncos to the National Championship, scoring nine points on five goals and four assists. He tallied 29 blocked shots and was a +19.
Sharp was clutch in big-time moments, as four of his five goals came against opponents that were ranked or receiving votes.
