Reid Drafted to the Nashville Predators

Congratulations to Cam Reid on his selection to the Nashville Predators in the 2009 NHL Draft.

Cam was selected in the seventh round after a great year in the British Columbia Hockey League and in advance of his imminent arrival in Durham, NH to play for our Wildcats.

See the title-linked Official Site release but beware this glaring oversight:

This afternoon Reid became the 85^th draftee in program history. He is just the second Wildcat to ever be selected by the Nashville Predators (Craig Switzer, 2004).

Can anyone tell me the other Wildcat Alum drafted by Nashville?

Congrats Cam! Now the real work starts!

Go 'Cats!

Future 'Cat, Ansel Ivens-Anderson

Two more skaters have committed to the University of New Hampshire Men's Hockey Team in the month of May beginning with former New Hampshire Jr Monarch and more recently of the New Jersey Hitmen, Future 'Cat, Ansel Ivens-Anderson.

At 6'1", 190 lbs the 19 year old finished his final Eastern Junior Hockey League season as the 14^th leading scorer in the league with 21 goals and 34 assists through 45 games and added six points in seven playoff games for the Hitmen. A big upside for our Wildcats will be the addition of Ivens-Anderson's league leading 14 powerplay goals - a clear point of weakness in this past season's team.

Ansel's New Jersey Hitmen won this year's EJHL Tournament after finishing just behind the Monarchs for the league's best regular season record. In the process Ansel was an EJHL Player of the Week in January, an EJHL All-Star and comes with bona fides from his coaches.

Welcome to Wildcat Nation, Ansel!

Coming up later this week will I'll introduce you to Ansel's fellow 2009 Future 'Cat, Austin Block.
