The Drumheller Dragons roster is taking shape for the 2013/2014 season after two new players were signed last week.
On June 14, the Dragons announced the addition of two new players, defenseman Robin Yew and forward Regan Yew. The dynamic duo are also twin brothers.
The Drumheller Dragons wished to announce the recent signing of Defensemen Robin Yew and Forward Regan Yew.
“Robin is a very gifted skater and explosive out of the block and, (speaking) as an ex-defenseman, that is crucial. His vision and work ethic will help him accomplish his goals in hockey,” said Brian Curran, general manager and head coach of the dragons.
“Regan is a very strong two-way player with good size, great work ethic, and will go to the net. I feel he will be a great asset to our team. His work ethic and determination will help him attain his goals. The Dragons welcome both boys and I believe the fans will enjoy watching both for years to come.”
Robin, a 95-born defenseman, was the captain of the AAA Battleford North Stars last year. He played 37 games and earned 2 goals, 14 assists, and had a total of 22 penalty minutes. Robin was selected as MVP for the season.
“I chose the Drumheller Dragons, because one of my main goals is to excel in hockey and education. I feel confident that Drumheller is the place that is going to help me the best to exceed these goals. I was impressed with the community and the hospitality that we received during our recent couple of visits. To me it was a no-brainer decision, Drumheller is where I want to be and I’m ready to work hard every day to achieve my goals and to get better every day,” said Robin.
Regan, a 95-born forward, also played for the Battleford North Stars last season. While there, he racked up 19 goals, 18 assists, and 20 penalty minutes in 44 games. He was selected as MVP for the Mac’s Tournament in December and in the three game playoff series.
There are a few reasons why I choose the Drumheller Dragons organization. Recently I have been to the community on two separate occasions. On each visit I was impressed with the community, how everybody is friendly. I’m also looking forward to being coached by an ex NHL player and I believe that he will make me a stronger and better hockey player,” said Regan.
Drumheller hockey fans will be able to see the Dragons on the ice in August during the annual preseason training camp.
