The Dragons are continuing to build for the season making changes as they set their lineup for the 2022-2023 season.
On September 23, the Dragons announced they have signed veteran Noah Danielson for the season.
Danielson comes to the Dragons after playing the last three years with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL. Over those three seasons, Danielson put up 16 goals and 25 assists in 103 games for the Tigers. The 20-year-old forward brings skill, experience and leadership to the Dragons after serving as the Tigers’ assistant captain last season.
He’s wasted no time finding his place in the lineup and in four games he has a goal and two assists for three points.
Another change for the Dragons saw the end of Caden Heins in the black and orange. The Dragons have completed a trade with the Olds Grizzlys sending the rookie forward in exchange for a Player Development Fee (PDF). Heins played two games with the Dragons in the 2021-2022 regular season and five in the playoffs, netting one goal.
Earlier this month the Dragons announced its leadership team. Sam Simard was selected as captain. Alternate captains are Ty Whitford, Adam Raesler, and Ben Christian.
“I was definitely surprised by it You never really know, especially coming into a new hockey season, you don’t even know if you are going to play for the team in the end. I felt like me, and the guys alongside of me, were a striving factor on who they chose to keep for this team in the end. It is an exciting situation for all of us,” said Simard.
