History
2007-08: Selleck scored 43 goals with 38 assists with 120 PIM in 49 games for the Pembroke of the CJHL. Selleck scored 8 goals with 21 assists and 28 PIM in 14 playoff games for the Lumber Kings.
2008-09: Selleck scored 13 goals with 13 assists and 45 PIM as a freshman for NCAA Division III Oswego (NY) State. The Lakers finished 18-8-1 after falling to Plattsburgh State, 5-4 in OT of the SUNYAC Championship game. Selleck was named SUNYAC Rookie of the Year.
2009-10: Selleck led Oswego State in scoring as a sophomore with 21 goals and 33 assists and had 48 PIM in 28 games. The Lakers won the SUNYAC regular season and conference tournaments and reached the Division III semifinals. Selleck was named to the NCAA Division III East All-America team. Selleck signed a free agent contract with Florida in April.
2010-11: Selleck, a high-scoring forward during his NCAA Division III college days assumed the policeman role for Rochester (AHL) in his first season of pro hockey. Selleck had a team-leading 214 PMs in 67 games for the last-place Amerks. Offensively, he chipped in with 5 goals and 11 assists. His -4 plus/minus was middle-of-the-pack for a Rochester team that gave up the second-most goals in the AHL.
Talent Analysis
Selleck is an enforcer with a scorer’s touch. While he will never put up the huge point totals he did at the junior A and Division III college levels, he does possess some offensive skills and skating ability. In his first season as a pro, Selleck posted only marginal offensive numbers while he compiled 214 penalty minutes and spent nearly half as much time in the penalty box as he did on the ice.
Future
As it stands now, unless Selleck can find a way to start producing offense at the AHL level, his opportunities with the Panthers will be limited. The NHL is moving away from the enforcers of the past, and relying more on tough players who can skate and score. Selleck will continue to play in the minor leagues for the foreseeable future.
