Kennewick, WA – The Tri-City Americans today are proud to announce the signing of 17-year-old center Drew Hoff to a standard WHL player’s contract for the 2006-07 season.

The 5’10”, 180 pound Hoff will join the team immediately for the final four games of the regular season. The native of Redvers, Saskatchewan was the leading scorer for the Yorkton Harvest AAA Midget team in the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League this season. In 44 games, Hoff scored 17 goals, 38 points and had 30 penalty minutes. In four playoff games Hoff had two goals, three points and two penalty minutes.

“Drew is a skilled forward with good speed,” said Americans governor/general manager Bob Tory. However, his greatest attributes are his relentless work ethic and leadership capabilities. We are pleased that Drew and his family have chosen the Americans and the Western Hockey League for his development as a player.”
