INTERVIEWS: Williams, Kohler making waves in training camp
MEDICINE HAT, AB — It’s always a bit of a gamble to select a player in the CHL Import Draft.
The Medicine Hat Tigers took two swipes at European talent earlier this summer, and landed two sizable, smooth skating players.
Forward Mick Kohler from Cologne, Germany was taken in the first round. It sounds like he’ll be suiting up for the Orange and Black this season, already skating with several Tabbie vets at the Family Leisure Centre ahead of training camp.
In the second round, Medicine Hat nabbed long-shot Swedish defenceman Linus Nassen, who was drafted in the third round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft to the Florida Panthers.
