Prince Albert, Saskatchewan – The Prince Albert Raiders are pleased to announce that defenseman Ryan Aasman, selected in the 1st round, 8th overall in the 2007 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft, has signed a standard WHL contract and education contract with the team.

Aasman, who is 5’10”, 160 pounds, led his hometown Medicine Hat Hockey Hound Bantams in scoring this past season with 14 goals and 30 assists for 44 points in 32 games.

“We are thrilled to have Ryan as a Raider as he is going to be a part of things for a long time to come,” said Dave O’Brien, Head Scout. “He is a guy that will play a lot of important minutes in the future and solidifies the back end for years to come with a player of his ability.”

“Ryan and his family have been great to deal with since we drafted him in May, and we look forward to seeing them at training camp,” continued O’Brien.

Aasman will be at Raider Training camp starting August 22nd. As a 15 year-old he is eligible to play up to 5 games with the Raiders during the 2007-08 regular season.
