Apple Core All-Star Forward Set to Join Mustangs this Fall

BREWSTER, NY -- Colby Walters, a forward for the New York Apple Core, has committed to Morrisville State for the fall of 2022.

The '01 native of Aurora, IL is in his 3rd season in the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) and 2nd with the Apple Core program. In total, Walters has played in just over 125 total games and has racked up 64 career points along the way.

"We are very excited for Colby to take the next steps in what has been a fantastic career so far," said Apple Core interim head coach Joe Wegwerth. "Colby has been a tremendous leader throughout his two seasons with the Apple Core. We are excited to watch Colby and his family as they continue on to college hockey."

Walters is one of two EHL players that will be heading off to Morrisville this fall, as he will team up with Grant Linville of the Seahawks Hockey Club. Overall, Walters is the 14th player in league history to choose the Mustangs' hockey program.

"I am proud to announce my commitment to SUNY Morrisville," said Walters. "I cannot thank everyone at the New York Apple Core enough for these last 2 seasons, and for giving me a chance to play junior hockey and play college hockey. I am grateful for the coaching staff at SUNY Morrisville for giving me a chance to come in next season and play for them. Being able to wear an 'A' on my chest this season and help lead such a great group of guys, has been nothing short of amazing. Being here these last 2 years with a lot of the same teammates has been a great experience. It makes coming to the rink every day enjoyable and I have them to thank everyone for being such great guys and being the most supportive teammates and friends. I am super excited to get started next year and can’t wait to get on campus!"

The EHL All-Star and his teammates are locked into the #4 seed in the Central Division, which means their future First Round playoff matchup will put them up against the Railers Jr Hockey Club, in a series that will start next Thursday the 10th.
