NORWALK, CT -- Michael Tilford was the anchor between the pipes for the Connecticut Oilers, helping to lead his team to the Premier Division Semi-Finals. The native of Traverse City, Michigan, owned a record of 23-12-0 this past year (regular season and playoffs combined), to go along with a solid 3.30 GAA.

The Oilers will look for a new netminder to step up in Tilford's place, as he begins his freshmen year at Nazareth College this Fall.
