The men's hockey team adds new faces to the line up.
The Wilfrid Laurier men's hockey team is pleased to announce three new players who will be joining the Golden Hawk fold for the 2009-10 campaign.
Kyle van de Bospoort has committed to the Hawks after a four-year career in the Ontario Hockey League playing for the Barrie Colts. Kyle is a hard-nosed defenceman from Pickering, Ontario who will be studying business in the Laurier School of Business and Economics in September. "Kyle is a high quality recruit both on and off the ice," said Head Coach Kelly Nobes. "He’s a solid defensive defenceman and will add size and grit to our blueline."
Goaltender, Ryan Daniels, a fifth round pick of the Ottawa Senators, played three years for the Saginaw Spirit and this past season with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League. The Pickering, Ontario native will also be working towards his BBA at the Laurier School of Business and Economics. "Ryan is a very skilled goalie with an abundance of experience at the OHL level," commented Nobes. "He will be a great addition to our team".
Paul Bradley will be playing his fifth and final year of eligibility for the Hawks after four years as the top player for the RMC Paladins. Bradley has been named twice to the OUA East all-star team and is coming off RMC Athlete of the Year honours this year. He will be working towards his Master of Arts in History in September after graduating with his Honours Arts degree. “Paul is a top notch guy and a very dynamic offensive player," said Nobes about his former player. "We are pleased that he has decided to continue his studies at Laurier and know that he will add skill and leadership to our team."
