TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo Walleye forward Josh Kestner was named to the All-ECHL first team on Friday for the 2019-20 season. With this honor he becomes just the third Walleye player to land on the first team, joining Shane Berschbach and J.C. Sawyer.

Kestner finished with 73 points (33G, 40A) in just 58 games, making him the first player in Toledo history to lead the league in scoring for a season.
