Penisson Excited for Ottawa

[bluesfan55 103]

After being unsure if he was actually available to be drafted, young Richard Penisson finally got an answer when he was drafted 24th overall by the Ottawa Lynx in the S70 VHLM Draft. Penisson was surprised that he was draft-eligible despite declaring so late, and was shocked he went so early. “I wasn’t expecting to go in the top 3 rounds as a guy who declared for the draft the day of, so to get picked that high really means a lot to me. It shows that the Lynx have confidence in me to go out there and be a guy who can contribute scoring straight away. It also helps that I wanted to go there, and that they drafted a bunch of guys I knew in Chungus, CBFM, and McFudderdudder. I’m really excited to get this season started with a team that I think can do some damage.” It sure seems that the 16-year-old pivot is really looking forward to getting on the North American ice and prove his mettle.
