Press Release
EVERETT
– The Everett Silvertips today announced the signing of 1995-born
forward Logan Aasman to a WHL Education Contract. Aasman made his WHL
debut for the Silvertips during Sunday evening’s game in Kelowna.
Aasman,
17, earned his first WHL call-up with the Silvertips last week after
being placed on the club’s protected list. He played his first major
junior game on Sunday, skating mostly on a line with Brayden Low and
Lucas Grayson against the Kelowna Rockets.
At
the midget level with the Southeast Tigers in his hometown of Medicine
Hat, Alberta this season, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound winger has scored 12
goals and totaled 18 points to go with 32 penalty minutes in 21 games.
He also appeared in one Junior-A game with Drumheller of the AJHL this
year. Logan is the younger brother of former WHLer Ryan Aasman, who
played for five different WHL teams between 2008 and 2012.
“We’re
happy that Logan has decided to commit to our program,” said General
Manager Garry Davidson. “He’s a big forward with skill and good hockey
sense who we see as a promising WHL prospect for our club.”
The
Silvertips return to action Friday night against Spokane at Comcast
Arena. Opening faceoff for Everett’s first game of 2013 is set for 7:35
pm as the ‘Tips face the Chiefs for the fifth time this season.
