MEDICINE HAT, AB — Add another accolade to Mads Sogaard’s esteemed rookie campaign.

The towering Danish netminder for the Medicine Hat Tigers has been named to the WHL’s Eastern Conference Second All-Star Team.

Sogaard is one of four netminders who can rightfully call themselves all-stars, joining Ian Scott (East’s First Team) of the Prince Albert Raiders, Everett Silvertips’ Dustin Wolf (West’s First Team) and Beck Warm (West’s Second Team) of the Tri-City Americans.

Standing a colossal 6’7″ in the blue-paint, Sogaard is enjoying a breakout rookie campaign that’s caused many professional scouts to turn heads.
