Wolverines get another Hunwick

Alpena IceDiggers' goalie Shawn Hunwick has committed to play goal for the Michigan Wolverines this upcoming season.

The Sterling Heights native will carry the Hunwick name for another four years at the university. Shawn's older brother, Matt, just finished his senior season as Michigan's captain.

Hunwick, 20, spent this season in Alpena compiling a record of 17-9-2 with a 3.06 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage with one shutout in 31 games played.

"Shawn deserves the chance to play at the D-I level," Alpena head coach Kenny Miller said. "He is a hard-working kid that will compete everyday in practice. He is very excited about this chance and I am happy for him and his family."

Hunwick joins Eric Roman (Wayne State) and Chad Billins (Ferris State in '08) as members of the 2006-2007 Alpena team to commit to in-state Division I programs.

Hunwick originally committed to the new D-III team in Adrian before deciding on Michigan.
