AUGER AGREES TO OHL EDUCATION PACKAGE

Skilled Defenceman a 2nd Round pick in 2015

General Manager Warren Rychel is pleased to announce Kyle Auger has joined the Spitfires by agreeing to a standard OHL Player & Education Package.  

Auger, 16, a native of Thunder Bay, Ontario, was taken in the 2nd Round of April’s Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection (#39 overall) after an outstanding season with the Thunder Bay Kings Minor Midgets.

The 5’9, 175-pound defenceman put up 15 goals and 33 assists in 48 games in 2014-15.  

“Kyle is a smart, two-way player that uses his teammates well,” Rychel said. “He’s a thinker on the ice. He can shoot. He players a very physical game for his size. He’s also a very strong student and a well-rounded kid we think has a bright future.”

Auger is currently competing at the OHL Gold Cup in Kitchener, along with fellow Spitfire prospects Gabe Vilardi, Mike DiPietro, Thomas Stevenson and Devlin Shanahan.
