Star incoming freshman Alex Newhook has been drafted #16 overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2019 NHL draft. Newhook is the first Eagle to be picked in this year’s draft, which should feature plenty of Eagles in a strong incoming class.
Newhook comes to the Heights from Victoria of the BCHL in Canada, and put up some pretty impressive numbers in a so-so league. He was BCHL Rookie of the Year in 2018 after putting up a 22-44—66 line in 45 games, but really exploded in year two with a 38-64—102 line in 53 games, enough to be league scoring champion.
