Jenny Schmidgall, a former U.S. Olympian, has signed a letter of intent to play for coach Shannon Miller and her Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs this fall.<\/p>\n
According to the Duluth News Tribune<\/i>, Schmidgall said, “Her hockey philosophy and mine were the same, and she made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. She’s looking for the best players so that she can have the best team possible right off the bat.”<\/p>\n
Schmidgall is leaving the Minnesota program after her freshman season in which she lead the team in scoring with 33-38-71. Her team finished with a record of 28-4-3 and finished third in the American Women’s College Hockey Alliance Division I tournament.<\/p>\n
