April 29, 2010

 

Edmonton, AB – Edmonton Oil Kings General Manager, Bob Green, today announced with their first selection, second overall, of the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft they have chosen centre Curtis Lazar.


Lazar, 5’10, 159lbs, plays with the Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence Bantam Team. The Vernon, BC native appeared in 51 games collecting 115 points (57G, 58A) to lead the team in points and goals. He also skated in four games with the midget team and had two goals and three assists with two PIM.


Green then flipped his second and fourth round picks to the Everett Silvertips for their first round pick, 18th overall and immediately selected Mason Geertsen, a defenseman from Leduc of the AMBHL.


“We are extremely happy to have both kids join us,” said Green. “Curtis brings a lot of scoring and competes real hard. Mason is someone we were coveting and he has a good skill package and size. He is a tough guy to play against.”


Geertsen, 6’0, 160lbs, played in 33 games for the Leduc Allen’s Transport Oil Kings, scoring 22 points. (5G, 17 A) and 39 PIM.
