BALKWILL TO MAKE SEASON DEBUT TONIGHT AGAINST SEA WOLVES

COLUMBUS, GA - Nathan Balkwill has been activated and will appear in his first game of the season tonight against the Mississippi Sea Wolves.

The 24-year-old Balkwill was selected to the FPHL Rookie All-Star Team last season, appearing in 51 games for Columbus with 2-13-15 and 114 minutes in penalties to go along with a plus-26 rating. He was selected by the Baton Rouge Zydeco in the FPHL’s summer 2024 expansion draft, but Columbus traded goaltender Breandan Colgan to the Zydeco in exchange for Balkwill, Connor Lind, and Edgars Ozolinsh.

Hailing from Orillia, ON, Balkwill has yet to play a game this season while rehabilitating an injury suffered in the playoffs last year against Carolina. He has been cleared to play and will make his season debut tonight against the Sea Wolves at 7:05 pm.
