Canadian National Gardens (Thunder Bay, ON, Canada)- With their third of four third round picks in the 2008 CCHL Entry Draft, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves have selected winger Kevin Porter with the seventy-fifth overall pick.--Porter is coming off his best season season at the University of Michigan. Scoring thirty-three goals and thirty assists for sixty-three points. Leading his team and nation in scoring, and leading the way to the Hobey Baker Trophy. Awarded to the best U.S. college hockey player. Porter became the first Wolverine to win the trophy since Brendan Morrison.
--"We love everything that Porter brings to the table," said GM Blake Wendt. "His work ethic and leadership alone makes him a top notch player in my opinion. Add to that the game he brings, his skating, puck handling and defensive awareness away from the puck makes him a steal at the seventy fifth spot."
--Porter was also teammates Mark Mitera and Chris Summers at Michigan. Both defensemen are property of the Timberwolves.
