Durango native Wentworth commits to NCAA D-III Dubuque as next step in hockey, academic careers

 

The NAHL’s St. Cloud Norsemen have announced that forward Zak Wentworth has committed to play NCAA Division III hockey for Dubuque.

Serving as a product of the ladder of development, the Durango native skated in the NA3HL for three seasons with the New Mexico Ice Wolves. His first taste of the NAHL happened last season with the New Mexico Ice Wolves, where he played in four games.

This season, Wentworth received the call-up from the NA3HL’s Ice Wolves after the NA3HL Showcase to play with the Norsemen. He played the second half of the 2024-25 season in 26 contests where he tallied a goal and four assists.

Norsemen head coach Joe Exter shared his excitement for Wentworth.

“We are excited for Zak to move on to the University of Dubuque,” Exter said. “He is a great piece for them to add as they build their program. Zak joined our team at the midseason mark and showed he can provide a spark with his physical play and commitment to go to the net. Most importantly, he is a great teammate with a strong work ethic.

“He will have a positive impact at Dubuque.”
