Julseth-White re-signs with Wranglers

by Ryan Fay

Former Union defenseman Nolan Julseth-White has re-signed with the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers, the club announced Thursday.

Julseth-White, the captain on Union's 2011-2012 Frozen Four team, appeared in 56 contests for the Wranglers last season. He scored three goals and added 18 assists while registering a plus-9 rating. His play in Las Vegas earned him a four-game stint with the American Hockey League's San Antonio Rampage and a single game with the AHL's Providence Bruins.

“Nolan is coming into his second year as a professional, but his maturity is far beyond that,” Wranglers head coach and general manager Mike Madill said in a release. “He is a tremendous athlete who plays every game like it’s the playoffs. If he gets a chance to climb to the American League, we may never get him back, but we’re excited that he’s chosen to start the year with us. He’s another true professional who logs a lot of minutes.”

Julseth-White, 25, is glad to return to the sin city.

“I’m excited to come back and play for a great organization and fans,” said Julseth-White. “With the group returning, I know Mike [Madill] will put together a winning product that is hungry for a championship.”

Joining Julseth-White in the ECHL is another former Union player, center Kyle Bodie, who signed with the Cincinnati Cyclones earlier this month. The two teams do not meet this year.
