Ice Dogs' Munson commits to Alaska-Fairbanks

UAF recruit Taylor Munsen competed in last week's NAHL Top Prospects Tournament in Massachusetts.

The Fairbanks Ice Dogs have announced that forward Tayler Munson has committed to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (CCHA) for the 2012-13 season.

Munsen, a 17-year-old from Fairbanks, has 10 goals for 18 points through 25 games this season.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for Tayler and one that’s well deserved,” said Ice Dogs head coach Josh Hauge. “He’s a talented young player and a terrific kid and will be a great fit at UAF.”

Munson, who in October was recognized on NHL Central Scouting’s Watch List for 2011 draft-eligibles, participated in last week’s NAHL Top Prospects Tournament in Walpole, Mass.
