Joining Red Wings an 'unreal feeling' for Jackson's Carter Mazur; Detroit adds 2 centers

Detroit — The Red Wings went local with their third-round pick.

They selected forward Carter Mazur, a Jackson native who came up the ranks in the Little Caesars program, with the 70th pick overall, on Saturday.

Mazur (6-foot, 168 pounds) had 20 goals and 24 assists in 47 games with Tri-City in the USHL.

Like second-round pick Shai Buium, Mazur will be attending the University of Denver this fall, along with recent draft pick, defenseman Antti Tuomisto.

"I know Shai from coming in together as the freshman class, he's actually been my roomate this summer," Mazur said.
