Pats pick up Hanson

[witness]

From the Thunderbirds. A 17 year old with decent size (6'1" and 185), plays center. If I remember correctly good hands, OK speed, needs to work on the physical play. Could be a nice pick up for the Pats. Might be able to move into the 4th line center position to add a bit of size and scoring punch.

With the injury to Ofukany, I would really like to see Strueby move up to play with Kraus and Cerveny. Might be an interesting line.

With the addition of Hanson we now have a whole line who played with the Pat Cs last season Mitchell, Strueby and now Hanson...
