Providence Netminder Gillies Signs with Calgary Flames
Jon Gillies went out on top in the college game. Now he’ll try his hand in the NHL after foregoing his senior season to go pro.
The Providence College junior goaltender, who backstopped the Friars to their first-ever national championship this season, has apparently signed with the Calgary Flames, who drafted him in the third round (75th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, according to the Calgary Sun.
“There's a real poise to him," said Flames GM Brad Treliving of Gillies. "He has a mature game. As big as he is, as athletic as he is, there's a quiet maturity to his game. He's not somebody who over-works or overdoes it in terms of his movements."
