Watch: NAHL Now Alumni Series with Zach Nagelvoort

January 25, 2017

In a new video series for the 2016-17 season, the North American Hockey League (NAHL) is please to feature their extensive list of alumni in the NHL, NCAA and beyond in a new series entitled the NAHL Now: Alumni Series.

 

The NAHL Now: Alumni Series will be a regular video segment that highlights an alumni of the NAHL, who are currently playing in the NHL, NCAA or elsewhere as we try and catch up with their current situation, as well as, take a look back during their time playing in the NAHL.

 

We also try and get some feedback from coaches who constantly scout the league looking for players and who have made a lasting impact on the league

 

During a recent trip to the state of Michigan, the NAHL traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan to catch up with the half a dozen alumni currently playing NCAA Division I hockey at the University of Michigan. One of those alumni is former NAHL and Aberdeen Wings goalie Zach Nagelvoort, who is in his senior season with the Wolverines.

 

 

 

Zach Nagelvoort's NAHL career spanned two full seasons with four different NAHL teams.  The native of Holland, Michigan, spent time between the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings and the Traverse City North Stars during the 2011-12 NAHL regular season.

 

The next season saw Nagelvoort play with the Soo Eagles and ultimately settling with the Aberdeen Wings, where he thrived and made his NCAA Division I commitment to Michigan in the Spring of 2013.

 

During the 2012-13 season, he was named the NAHL Goaltender of the Month in March of 2013 and finished 3rd in the NAHL in both goals against average (2.10) and save percentage (93.6%) that season.
