The Shreveport Mudbugs of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are pleased to announce that defenseman Aidan Metcalfe has committed to play NCAA Division I hockey for the University of Connecticut in Hockey East.

Metcalfe, 21, just completed his second and final season of playing junior hockey in the NAHL for the Robertson Cup Champion Mudbugs.

The 6’3/194 lbs. native of Palos Verdes, CA, posted 18 points (all assists) in 55 games played during the 2020-21 season. He also added four points in 10 Robertson Cup Playoff games helping the Mudbugs to the title.

During the 2019-20 season, Metcalfe was named to the NAHL All-South Division Rookie Team thanks to a stellar rookie season that included 23 points in just 43 games played.
