The Lloydminster Bobcats are bolstering their ranks in net as they’ve acquired 20-year-old goaltender Connor Graham from the Niverville Nighthawks.
Graham joins the ‘Cats after splitting his time between the Winnipeg Blues and the Niverville Nighthawks.
With the Blues, he played 15 games and carried a 3.43 goals against and a .909 save percentage. For the Nighthawks, he played four games for a 4.0 goals against and a .863 save percentage.
“With the additions made early in the week with Ishan Mittoo and Kai Billey, we wanted to make sure we had junior experience in our net. Kirkwood (24GP – 2.65GAA – .921SV per cent) has been outstanding for us and we look forward to him continuing, but we put a lot on him once Anders Miller joined the Calgary Hitmen (WHL)” said Bobcats General Manager Nigel Dube.
This brings the Bobcats back to a goalie duo rather than having to rely on a single player.
“It’s unique but we were looking for depth in all areas of our group, we believe we have found that and are excited about our group moving forward,” said Dube.
He says the experience is there with the team returning to two netminders, both being 20 years old.
