Press Release

Niagara IceDogs Head Coach and General Manager Marty Williamson announced today that Graham Knott, Cody Caron, and Sam Berg have all committed to the IceDogs, entering into OHL Standard Player Agreements with the club.

Knott was the first of two IceDog third round picks in the 2013 OHL Priority Selection and his commitment gives the IceDogs commitments from their top five selections in the 2013 Priority Selection, with Knott joining Hayden McCool, Zach Wilkie, Ryan Sarris and Johnny Corneil.  The 6'0", 160lbs. left winger picked up 8 goals and 8 assists for 16 points in 25 games with the York Simcoe Express last season.

The IceDogs have also added a sixth player from their 2013 Priority Selection with the commitment of seventh round pick Cody Caron.  A 17 year old centre, Caron was drafted from the Sault Ste. Marie North Stars where he put up 22 goals and 23 assists for 45 points in 31 games last season.

Finally, Sam Berg commits to the IceDogs after having been selected by the IceDogs in the 14th round of the 2012 OHL Priority Selection.  Berg split last season between the Buffalo Jr. Sabres and Hamilton Jr. Red Wings of the OJHL where he accumulated 12 goals and 12 assists for 24 points, as well as 215 penalty minutes in 52 games.
