St. Louis Blues 2022 first-round pick had 34 points (21 goals, 13 assists) in 37 games for Golden Gophers in his second season in NCAA
Jimmy Snuggerud, the 23rd pick in the 2022 NHL Draft by the St. Louis Blues, was named to the 2023-24 All-Big Ten Conference First Team on Tuesday.
The forward put up 34 points (21 goals, 13 assists) in 37 games for the Minnesota Golden Gophers this season, his second in the NCAA after he had 50 points (21 goals, 29 assists) in 40 games last season.
Snuggerud, 19, has also played for the past two seasons for USA at the World Junior Championships, helping them claim the gold medal in this year when he had five goals and three assists in six games.
Snuggerud, who could leave college and sign his first professional contract at the conclusion of this season, which hasn't been decided yet, sits now and awaits with the Golden Gophers (22-10-5) where they will head to when the NCAA Tournament brackets are released.
With St. Louis and Centene Community Ice Center being one of the sites for a regional March 29-31, there's a chance for Blues fans to see Snuggerud in action before he dons the Bluenote for the first time.
Stay tuned.
