A pair of Calgary Flames prospects will get an opportunity to take home college hockey’s biggest prize. Freshmen Demetrios Koumontzis and Emilio Pettersen will be participating in the annual NCAA Frozen Four tournament.
Pettersen, 18, was the Flames’ sixth round selection in last June’s NHL Draft (taken 167th overall). He had a brilliant first season of college hockey with the University of Denver Pioneers, with six goals and 29 points in 38 games. He just missed being named to his conference’s all-rookie team.
The Pioneers will be playing in the West Region in Fargo, ND. They face the Ohio State University Buckeyes on Fri.
