Calgary, AB - Calgary Hitmen General Manager and Head Coach Kelly Kisio announced today the selection of Robin Figren 17th overall in the 2006 CHL Import Draft.

Figren is a 5’11” 175 lbs. left winger from Frolunda, Sweden. The 18 year-old is a 3rd round draft choice of the New York Islanders, taken 70th overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

“Figren has a good shot and can score,” says Kisio. “Scout’s I’ve talked to also say he’s very good in the offensive zone, plays hard and is a great skater.”

The Hitmen were originally slated to pick 57th overall but moved up to 17th by completing a deal with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The Hitmen sent 19 year-old Czech forward Lukas Vantuch to the ‘Canes in exchange for the 17th overall pick and 18 year-old forward Isaac Reid.
