Walsh registered 30 goals and 49 assists and was a first-team All-Star.
The scout by Elite Prospects described Walsh as a player who “is all about the details. Offensively, he’s always open, and when he can’t be, he skates into groups of defenders to create space for a teammate. He wins body positioning around the net, plays a give-and-go style, and never hangs onto the puck for too long”.
Walsh committed to Cornell University for the 2023-24 season and scored 12 goals with 10 assists in 35 games and will be entering his sophomore season for 2024-25.
