Nero 27 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 July 28, 2016 - VHL.com TORONTO - A day after opting out of a scholarship to Boston College and opting into VHLM free agency, defenceman Brent Hardy has landed with a team of his choosing. "I'm super-excited to say that I'll be joining the Ottawa Lynx", Hardy announced on Thursday afternoon. Speaking in front of a small media gathering at the York County Elite Youth Hockey facility in the District of Scarborough, Hardy made his decision as the first player in the VHLM to sign under the new, "player's right to choose" waivers system. While sitting alongside his father, Gordon, and older brothers, Dean and Danny, the youngest of the Hardy hockey family explained his decision. "Ottawa is close to home and I place we all loved to play hockey growing up. The Lynx made a great pitch, top offer, and they have a lot of players that I think will help me improve my game. They are not about selling the farm... they want to win and I love to win." Hardy's decision to sign with Ottawa comes as a bit of a surprise to many within the VHLM community. Several league insiders believed the Toronto native would lunge at the opportunity to pair with Izidors Balders in Yukon. Instead, Hardy will head to Ottawa and potentially be the difference-maker in a three way battle for the Eastern Conference crown. "I want to thank the teams that reached out to me and expressed interest. There were a lot of good opportunities on the table but I feel the Lynx bring the best."
