Merrimack College has lost its most experienced goaltender
less than three months before the start of the 2017-18 NCAA campaign.
Rising junior Collin Delia
passed up his senior season in North Andover to sign a free agent contract with
the NHLs’ Chicago Blackhawks last week. The deal is for two years, according to
the Blackhawks’ web site. Delia has taken part in the Blackhawks Prospects Camp
in each of the last two seasons.
In three years with the Warriors, the 6-foot-2, 200-lb.
native of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. fashioned a 17-20-3 record in 56 collegiate appearances
to go with a 2.60 goals-against average, a .907 save percentage, and four
shutouts, according to USCHO.com.
Delia finished ninth among NCAA Division I netminders last season
with a .927 save percentage over 21 games, while going 9-8-3 with a 2.15 GAA
and three shutouts. The Warriors will return rising sophomores Drew Vogler (18
games) and Craig Pantano (one game) in net next season.
