Press Release sent to the World of Junior Hockey
BISMARCK, ND – While the Bismarck Bobcats continue their quest for
playoff positioning in the 2013 postseason on the ice, off the ice the
Cats put together another piece of the puzzle for the 2013-14 season
when they signed Century High forward Alec Rauhauser to a tender
agreement.
“I’m really excited to sign on to be a part of Bobcat Hockey,” beamed
Rauhauser, who put up 30 goals and 37 assists in 27 games for the West
Region champion Patriots. “I grew up watching the Bobcats, and to be
able to keep playing in front of the great hockey fans around here and
the awesome crowds at the VFW Sports Center is a great feeling.”
By signing an agreement for next season, Rauhauser immediately becomes a
part of the Bobcats’ 30-man protected roster for 2012-13, comprising
returning veterans, tender signees and selections from May’s NAHL Entry
Draft.
Rauhauser’s senior year was one to remember: it started with being named
to NHL Central Scouting’s Draft Watch List—where he is currently ranked
196th among all North American skaters—and then continued as
he finished second state-wide in scoring with 67 points en route to his
third straight All-State selection.
A finalist for Outstanding Senior of the Year, Rauhauser was featured on
ESPN’s Sports Center Top Ten on February 6 for an eye-popping power
play goal he scored against Bismarck High the previous night. The senior
forward was also named to the 2013 State Hockey All-Tournament Team.
In all, he racked up 157 points on 63 goals and 94 assists in his four years at Century.
“Alec is a special player who’s got that rare combination of size (6’3”)
and skill,” assessed Bobcat head coach and general manager Layne
Sedevie. “We have had the pleasure of watching him grow up in front of
us and we know that the sky is the limit for his hockey career.”
