Position: Defense (Right-handed)
Alex Cotton’s year was something to behold, especially given how humble his first two years in the WHL were, and how overlooked he was in his own draft year.
Cotton comes to us from Langley BC, where guys like Shea Theodore and Danton Heinen could call stomping grounds, joining Lethbridge late into 2017 and having a modest 2018 season that ultimately resulted in him not getting picked during what would’ve been his draft year.
And then...something clicked, and he showed up ready to go in 2019, and promptly went on a tear, becoming the Hurricanes’ leading scorer among defensemen and third in scoring overall on the team.
