The Lethbridge Hurricanes Hockey Club are excited to announce they have
signed defenseman Koletrane Wilson to a Western Hockey League Standard Player
Agreement.
Wilson, 17, was originally drafted by the Hurricanes in the fourth round (84th overall) in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. The right-handed shot rearguard spent the 2016-2017 regular season with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the Alberta Junior Hockey League where he registered 11 points (1g-10a) along with 27 penalty minutes in 45 regular season games.

“We’re just really pleased to have (Koletrane) come on board for the rest of the year and for the future,” said Hurricanes General Manager, Peter Anholt. “I think any time you can add a big, strong defenseman that skates well and is a real good quality person that plays hard, I think it really adds to the depth of our organization.”
The 6’3”, 215-pound defenseman who hails from Edmonton, Alberta is the younger brother of former WHLer Klarc Wilson who appeared in 328 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings, Edmonton Oil Kings and the Prince George Cougars.
The ‘Canes will begin the 2017 WHL Playoffs on Saturday, March 25th and
Sunday, March 26th when they host the Red Deer Rebels in the first two games of
the best-of-seven first round series.
Playoff tickets to the general public go on sale on Saturday, March 18th at 10:00 am and can be purchased online, by calling 403-329-SEAT (7328) or by visiting the ENMAX Centre or Yates Ticket Centres.
So Happy that Tyler got his 50th and 51st goals of the season in his last regular season game in the league. So well deserved!
ReplyDeleteI hope the team can flip the switch and increase their compete and their level of physical play during the next week, or it could be another first round playoff exit against a Red Deer team that won't be playing as if they are made of fine china.
Wow! Congrats to #30 on Canes Top-30 list, fan favourite (& Teddy-Bear scorer?) Cam Braes. 4 goals in the 5-3 UNB CIS Championship victory against SSK.
