Since graduating from St. Cloud State in 2019, Jimmy Schuldt has played for the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and the Chicago Wolves, Henderson Silver Knights and Rochester Americans of the AHL.
He recently signed a contract with the Coachella Valley Knights, the AHL affiliate of the Seattle Kraken.
Schuldt talks about his pro career and then answers a bevy of submitted questions from fans on Twitter, some of which are funny and some are more serious. A three-year captain for the Huskies, he discusses things like why he returned for his senior season of high school hockey at Minnetonka, the importance of being a good teammate and his favorite SCSU memory.
He also answers some fun questions about rec league softball, a former teammate having to dress up like a clown and who his favorite member of the Poehling family is. All this and more in this episode of the Huskies Hockey Insider podcast with host Mick Hatten of The Rink Live.
