Hawks sign trio of players to cap recruiting season
The Nipawin Hawks have signed three players to Letters of Intent (LOI) to wrap up the recruiting season prior to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) draft in June.
The club recently announced forwards Morgan Page and Mason Lowther have agreed to LOI’s as has defenceman Mattias De Zen.
Page is a 2007-born winger from Airdrie, Alta. that played for the U18 AAA Bisons program in his hometown. He scored four goals and added 18 assists in 35 regular season games this past season. Associate General Manager of the Hawks is Dane Dirks, he said Page brings a physical dynamic to the roster, something he feels was missed for Nipawin last year.
“Morgan is a big body guy that won their (Airdrie Bisons) hardest working player award this year, he’s a physical player. He’s more than that though, the points this year didn’t match his skill, he didn’t score a lot this year, but he was on a line and helped set lots up,” Dirks said.
