Chicago, IL (CKLQ) – Strathclair’s Morgan Geekie is hoping to hear his name called this weekend as the NHL Entry Draft gets underway in Chicago.
The former Yellowhead Chief had an outstanding showing at the Draft Combine in Buffalo earlier this month.
He finished in the top five in a number of fitness tests.
"I met a number of teams one-on-one. It’s a good way to showcase the person you are and get to know teams," says Geekie.
He is ranked 45th on the NHL’s final draft rankings.
"It’s something I didn’t expect to happen," says Geekie. "I’m playing it day by day, trying to get better, and hopefully it’ll help me in the long run."
The New Jersey Devils hold the first pick tomorrow night.
