The Sudbury Wolves have announced that goaltender Mitchell Weeks has committed to the hockey club.
Weeks, 17, was selected by the Wolves first overall in the 2018 OHL U18 Priority Selection. The 6-3, 175lb Barrie native currently plays for the Newmarket Hurricanes where he has a 1.80 GAA and a 0.939 SV% in 16 games played.
“We are very happy to have Mitchell commit to the Sudbury Wolves and the OHL,” said Rob Papineau, Wolves General Manager and VP Hockey Operations.
“He has continued to play extremely well and has been a huge part of his Newmarket team’s success. He is another very high character young man who has a great future that we are thrilled to be a part of.”
Mitchell Weeks is a big and agile goalie who reads the play well. He also has good control of his rebounds. He is very competitive and thrives on one on one challenges.
“I am extremely honoured to have signed with the Sudbury Wolves,” said Weeks. “I am also very excited for this opportunity with such a great organization.”
The Wolves will complete the first half of the home portion of the schedule this Friday when they host the Kitchener Rangers for the annual Teddy Bear Toss.
