A 麻豆精选 Rockets鈥� star has been signed by the NHL team that drafted him earlier this year.
Dillon Hamaliuk signed a three-year entry-level rookie contract with the San Jose Sharks this week. Hamaliuk was acquired via trade by the Rockets at the WHL bantam draft this year and has made a significant impact in the Rockets鈥� first dozen games with 10 points.
Hamaliuk was selected 55th overall at the NHL draft back in June and was recognized by the San Jose general manager on the Sharks鈥� website.
鈥淒illon is a rare power forward with a scorer鈥檚 touch,鈥� said GM Doug Wilson.
鈥淗e鈥檚 always one of the most competitive players on the ice and creates headaches for his opposition. We especially want to thank 麻豆精选 Rockets鈥� president Bruce Hamilton and head coach Adam Foote for their commitment to Dillon and helping him excel on and off the ice.鈥�
