SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Savannah Ghost Pirates announced Thursday the club has signed defenseman Michael Underwood and forward Liam Walsh to ECHL contracts for the 2024-25 season.

Underwood, 26, appeared in three games last season with the Utah Grizzlies, recording one assist. The Bloomfield Hills, MI, native made his professional debut at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, skating in three appearances for the American Hockey League’s Colorado Eagles. Underwood played five collegiate seasons, including four at Clarkson University, where he won a conference championship (ECAC) in 2018-19.

He spent his graduate year at Michigan State University before turning pro with Colorado. In 167 NCAA games, the right-handed defenseman notched six goals, 17 assists and 118 penalty minutes to go along with a plus-23 rating.

Walsh, 25, recently wrapped up a five-year collegiate tenure of his own, finishing 2023-24 out at Northeastern University. He played his last two seasons with the Huskies but started off at Merrimack College from 2019-22. Walsh served as an alternate captain during the 2021-22 and 2023-24 seasons. The Bridgeville, PA-born winger tallied 68 points (31 goals, 37 assists) in 140 NCAA appearances. In junior hockey, Walsh was named captain of the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in 2018-19, ranking second on the team in goals with 25.
