Its Official.....

Devin signed on the dotted line in Erie and is now on the roster as an Erie Otter. He played his first OHL game on Friday, well was in the warmups as backup goalie for Tyson Teichman, but was on the bench for the game and loved every minute of it. He has his own locker stall with his jersey, which is 29, the same number he is on the Metro Jets. I am assuming he will use this number from now on. He will continue to play with the Jets but can be called up to play by Erie for up to 10 games this season. As you probably know, he is so very excited as this has been his dream to play in the OHL as a stepping stone to the NHL. He is eligible for the NHL draft in 2014.

An Erie Otter

Well we finally received the call today and we are on our way to Erie to sign the contract. They will hold a press conference following the signing and Devin gets to be the back up in their home game tomorrow night. Its finally coming together and taking shape. Devin has been playing very well in the Junior league, has helped the team win eight of their eleven games, losing only twice so far. He is getting riddled with shots, has the most in the league next to Battle Creek. His coach is worried that they will be taking him to Erie early, wants him to play for the Jets this year. Which is what he will likely do; however, he can be called up to Erie anytime once he is under contract. Unless something goes wrong with the signing, Devin will officially be an Otter by this time tomorrow. Will keep you posted.
