The Guelph Storm Hockey Club announced today that Carter Sandlak, the team's first round draft pick in the 2009 OHL Priority Selection, has signed an Ontario Hockey League contract with the team.
Sandlak, a 6.01, 175 lbs forward was chosen with the 11th overall selection. Last season the London Jr. Knights grad racked up 86 points, including 38 goals and 48 assists. The rugged forward also recorded 208 penalty minutes.
Guelph Storm Head Coach Jason Brooks has described Carter as being a "big, strong two way player that is physical with excellent hockey sense and good around the net. He will be a very good OHL player."
Sandlak was on hand in early May for the Storm's annual Year End Banquet to receive the Lou Embro award for the Storm's 1st Round Draft Pick. The 16 year old was also in attendance at the Storm's annual Prospect Day held the next weekend at the University of Guelph. Sandlak will attend the Storm training camp which begins Wednesday August 26th.
