ICE add to blue line depth
The Kootenay ICE has signed 2002-born defenceman Benjamin Zloty.
The ICE drafted the Calgary, Alberta native in the sixth round (111th overall) in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.
Zloty has played 11 games this season with the Calgary Royals Midget AAA of the AMHL. In those 11 games, he has three goals and nine points.
Zloty was recently a participant at the 40th annual Mac’s AAA Midget World Invitational Hockey Tournament in Calgary. He finished the tournament with two goals and three points in four games.
“Ben is a smart player that can move and distribute the puck; we are excited about the trajectory of his development,” said Matt Cockell, President and General Manager. “We would like to thank Ben and his family for their commitment to the ICE.”
