Double Draft Day - Sigard Petrenko

[SlapshotWrangler 864]

MISSISSAUGA - It was a double draft day. Sigard Petrenko was eligible for both the Victory Hockey League Entry Draft and the Victory Hockey League Minors Dispersal Draft. Was he nervous? For the VHL draft, he definitely was. The VHLM draft? Not so much.

 

“I mean, I’ve stuck around in this league for a little bit now so I think I’d be safe to assume a team will eventually take me. And while I love playing in the VHLM and am excited to play for whatever team takes me, I’m more concerned about reaching the big leagues, y’know? I still wanna win in the VHLM though.”

 

He was right in not worrying too much. Sigard was drafted by the Hounds in the dispersal draft, 20th overall. That means Sigard will join Mississauga if he plays in the VHLM.

 

“Yeah, it’s gonna be hard leaving Houston and I enjoyed my short time there but I’m looking forward to joining the Hounds.”

 

Now, for the big leagues, Sigard was selected 7th overall by the Seattle Bears. Probably a surprising pick for some, as he was projected to go around 9th overall at most, but for Sigard, he’s happy to be a part of the team.

 

“Seattle has a great history and a great present and future. I’m excited to hopefully be a part of that future!”

Was a big fan of both of your previous players. LaFountaine was always a pain on our ass so I'm glad you can stop being that now...  

 

Draft played out how I wanted - couldn't be more happy. Welcome to the DA BEARZ!
