LOS ANGELES — Hermantown hockey has officially sent another player to the National Hockey League.
Wyatt Aamodt made his NHL debut with the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday in a game against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena. The defenseman recorded two shots and played 15 minutes, 9 seconds without recording any other statistics. The Avalanche, already guaranteed a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to start next weekend, rested several regulars in advance of the postseason.
Aamodt, now 27, has paid a lot of dues since his time at Hermantown, where he was the captain of the Hawks team that
broke the program’s Class A championship game voodoo in 2016
after six consecutive years as runner-up and won the Reed Larson Award (Minnesota’s top senior defenseman) and
News Tribune All-Area Player of the Year.
He then played more than two seasons in the United States Hockey League, then four years at Minnesota State, finishing his senior season as the captain of a Mavericks team that won the CCHA championship and reached the
Frozen Four championship game
.
After exhausting his eligibility with the Mavericks, Aamodt signed with the American Hockey League’s Colorado Eagles, for whom he has made nearly 200 regular-season and playoff appearances, notching 12 goals and 37 assists.
According to hockey-reference.com, Aamodt is now second among all players in NHL history in alphabetical order by last name behind only Antti Aalto, who played for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks from 1998-2001.

At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
