The son of Cristobal Huet goes to the kingdom of Connor Bedard

Cristobal Huet’s son, Ewan, could well continue his fledgling career where Connor Bedard has terrorized opposing defenders for the past three seasons.

With the 36e A pick in the Canadian Hockey League’s European Draft, the Regina Pats have set their sights on the 18-year-old goaltender, who spent the past season with the under-20 program of HC Lausanne, Switzerland.

There, he won 14 of his 31 starts and had a 2.73 goals-against average.

He also represented Switzerland at the last World Under-18 Championship.

Otters opt for Misiak

The Erie Otters had the very first selection of the auction and set their sights on Slovakian forward Martin Misiak.

A second-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in the last NHL Draft, Misiak started last season in Slovakia, before making the jump to North America mid-season, agreeing to join the Youngstown Phantoms in the USHL. There, he had 17 points in 27 games, then added ten in nine playoff games.

Speaking in second, the Acadie-Bathurst Titan added fellow Slovak Juraj Pekarcik, a left-winger who was a third-round pick of the St. Louis Blues in the last draft.
