The Montreal Canadiens added a staggering 11 players to their prospect pool at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft this past weekend. While not the one who comes with the highest profile, Jack Gorniak is among the most intriguing to have heard his name called from the Canadiens’ table.
The speedy forward, chosen 123rd overall, played his senior year of high school for the West Salem Panthers in 2017-18, while also appearing for Team Wisconsin in the Upper Midwest HS Elite Hockey League.
Gorniak had great success with the Panthers this past season, as the public high school team won their sectional playoffs to move on to the State Tournament before being eliminated in the quarter-finals.
