Logan Rounds (F)

The UW-Stout Blue Devils have locked three NAHL players from the Alaska Avalanche onto their roster for next season.  One of those players is Logan Rounds, a 6″2 195 lbs forward originally from Anchorage, Alaska.  Rounds is the kind of big power-forward coach Watkins likes in the rough and tough NCHA.  Rounds put up 12 goals, 29 assists for 29 points last season with the Avalanche; including three short-handed tallies.  I had a chance to catch up with Rounds this past week and asked him about his decision to enroll at UW-Stout.  

“It was really an easy choice to pick where I was going to play after talking to some of the guys that played on the team last year, and talking to coach Terry Watkins. I have only heard great things about Stout hockey.” said Rounds. 

Rounds also has ties to a former Avalanche player already on the Stout roster, Justin Giles. 

“I was on a line with Justin Giles my first year of juniors and we clicked really well so it will be fun meeting back up with him and playing on a team with him again.” said Rounds.

Coming with him from the Avalanche include Logan Maly and Jed McGlasson. 

“I have played hockey with Logan Maly for two seasons and Jed Mcglasson for one and I am definitely excited to continue on with them into college hockey. ” said Rounds. 

Maly is a 5″9 185 lbs forward from Rio, WI.  He notched 18 points for the Avalanche last season along with 106 PIM’s.  He will likely be another shifty player similar to Giles who could provide some speed up front. 

McGlasson stands 5″8 and 160lbs and is originally from Kenai, AK.  He was a standout prep player for Kenai Central before joining the Kenai River Brown Bears.  In the midst of his second season with Brown Bears, he requested a trade to get more exposure and the chance to play for a championship.  That request landed him in Anchorage with the Avalanche.  In his first year of juniors, he racked up 44 points, 15 of those goals.
