Sand sings with Thunder

I just got off the phone with Eau Claire Memorial goaltender Brady Sand, and he confirmed that he'll be joining the Albert Lea Thunder of the North American Hockey League this season.

After a conversation with Thunder coach Paul Willett Friday and a breakfast Sunday, Sand decided to join the newly-formed NAHL squad, which is entering its first year of existence.

Sand is one of two goaltenders who have signed tenders with the Thunder and will be heading down to Chicago to take part in the team's tryout camp June 20-22.

Sand was a perfect 20-0 for the state champion Old Abes last year, compiling a 0.93 goals against average and a .954 save percentage.

Be sure to check out tomorrow's Leader-Telegram for more on Sand's tender signing.
