THUNDER BAY – The Lakehead Thunderwolves have added diminutive homegrown forward Daniel McKitrick to the OUA hockey team’s roster.
Born in Thunder Bay, the 5-foot-7, 155-pound 21-year-old, who also calls Coral Harbour, Nunavut home, scored 24 goals last season playing for the Portage Terriors and Steinbach Pistons of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. He began his junior career in 2014-15 with the Thunder Bay North Stars, putting up 33 points in 50 appearances.
His speed will help the Wolves, said first-year coach Andrew Wilkins.
“Daniel is really fast. He definitely adds more speed to our team,” Wilkins said in a release issued on Friday by the team. “I’m glad to have him on board.”
