Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club announced today the Club
has selected 18-year-old Defenseman Petr Senkerik (1st round, 38th
overall) in today’s 19th annual CHL
Import Draft.
“It is very difficult
to draft any Import player as for the most part teams have not had the
opportunity to watch these players over the course of the season.Petr comes recommended by Allan Walsh, a
player agent who we have used several times in the past for the CHL Import Draft.We now have an abundance of 1991 born defensemen competing for spots in
the Fall and we hope that Petr can be a regular contributor to our Club”
continued Chynoweth.
Petr Senkerik will arrive
in Cranbrook in late August for Training Camp along with returning Import
Forward Dominik Pacovsky.
