KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan captain Tim Washe has agreed to a one year entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks, the organization announced today. 

Washe captained the Broncos in 2024-25, helping the program reach new heights. He spearheaded the team to its first ever Penrose Cup and NCHC Frozen Faceoff Championship. He then led the program to its first National Championship in program history this past weekend. 

The Clarkston, Mich. native has been a mainstay in the lineup for the Broncos, skating in a program record 171 games throughout his career. He was highly productive in those games, finishing his illustrious career with 74 points on 28 goals and 46 assists. 

Along with that, he had 11 game-winning goals and won 1,443 faceoffs. In five years with the program, he won 59.3 percent of his draws. 

He saved his best for last, as his final season in Kalamazoo was filled with multiple career-best marks. He finished the campaign with 38 points on 16 goals and 22 assists. He had eight game-winning goals, which broke the program's single-season record. 

He continued his dominance in the faceoff circle, winning at a 63.1 percent rate. That was good for the NCAA lead this season and he led the NCHC each of the last three seasons. Overall, he won 483 faceoffs during the 2024-25 season. 

For his work, Washe was able to earn some awards along the way. Along with being a standout student and NCHC Distinguished Scholar Athlete, he was named the league's Defensive Forward of the Year back in March.
