Congratulations to a pair of right-shot defensemen on being selected in the NAHL draft earlier this week!!!
Kicking things off in the NAHL Futures draft, Orange County, CA native Hudson Welsome was selected by Anchorage in the 2nd round. Welsome, a towering 6’3″, 180 lb defenseman spent the 2024-25 season manning the point for the Anaheim Jr. Ducks 15OAAA team and will continue his development at Seacoast Performance Academy next season.
In the entry draft the following day, Orlando, FL native Sebastian SanFilippo was selected in the 9th round by Elmira. The 6’0″, 200 lb SanFilippo recently wrapped up his Midget hockey career by winning a national championship with the Shattuck-St. Mary’s 18UAAA team and will compete for a spot on Elmira’s opening night roster in training camp later this summer!
Congratulations to Hudson and Sebastian and their families on this unbelievable accomplishment!!!
