The NAHL’s Austin Bruins have announced that Top Prospects defenseman Bryan Gilman has announced his commitment to NCAA Division III at St. Norbert College.

“I’m excited to announce my commitment to St. Norbert College,” stated Gilman. “Thanks to my family, teammates, coaches, and everyone who helped along the way.”

A native of Orange County, Gilman appeared in 64 career games in his first and only season in Austin while helping the Bruins reach the Robertson Cup Final for the first time since the 2014-15 season. This season, Gilman totaled one goal and seven assists for eight points.

Prior to joining the Bruins, Gilman was a member of the Anaheim Jr. Ducks program and spent a season with the SJHL’s La Ronge Ice Wolves.

St. Norbert College is a private Norbertine liberal arts college in De Pere, Wis., a suburb of Green Bay. The Green Knights are members of the NCHA. St. Norbert won the NCAA Division III national championship in 2018, beating Salve Regina in double-overtime in Lake Placid, N.Y.

In addition to the Jr. Ducks, Gilman also skated back home for the Orange County Hockey Club.
