Wenatchee, WA. --
The Wenatchee
Wild, preparing for their first season as
members of the British Columbia Hockey League, are pleased to announce
the return of Donovan Ott for his second season with the team.
Ott is 18 years old, stands 6’1” and tips the scales at 195
lbs. In 43 regular season games with the Wild last season, the Lebanon,
Pennsylvania native had 3 goals, 4 assists and 29 penalty minutes. Ott garnered
1 assist in 5 playoff games.
According to Wenatchee Wild Head Coach/General Manager Bliss
Littler, “Donovan is a power forward that really came on at the end of the
season. Donovan has decommitted from Cornell University this spring and will
have extra motivation to find another scholarship. I look for Donovan to have a
big year.”
Ott is thrilled to return to the Wild, saying “I really look
forward to returning to Wenatchee next season. Wenatchee is a wonderful
community and everyone is supportive of the team with arguably the best fans in
junior hockey.” On his first season with the Wild, Ott said “Last year was a
great experience for me playing for such an incredible coaching staff. I look
forward to continuing that next year with the guys from last year and the new
ones coming in. The excitement to get back has been building for me since the
team moved to the BCHL. It will be a wonderful opportunity for the players here
now and the ones to come in the future.”
The Wild will be holding tryout camp today though the 19th
in The Community Rink at the Town Toyota Center, which will be free and open to
the public. The regular season opens September 11th and 12th,
with a pair of road games against the Prince George Spruce Kings. The team’s
first home game at the Town Toyota Center will be Saturday, October 10th,
against the Coquitlam Express. Season seats for all 28 home games are available
through the Wild office, or by calling 509-888-7825.
