Australian raised Nathan Walker played his first AHL (American Hockey League) game tonight and scored his first AHL goal to help the Hersey Bears take a 6-0 win over the UTICA Comets in their first 2013-14 pre season game.
Walkers goal came 3 minutes and 51 seconds into the first period from a shot from the point hitting the goalies mask and somehow managing to have the puck trickle over the line, this goal would end up being the game winning goal as UTICA failed to score a single goal.
With Walker being the first Australian to ever play in the AHL this is a great start to hopefully a successful season for the young Aussie who hopes to make another Australian record and become the first Australian NHL player.
Walker's will play again tomorrow and Sunday (Sunday and Monday morning for Australia) to finish of the pre-season against the WBS Penguins before starting the regular season October 5th (6th October for Australia).
