The Soo Greyhounds have added a 19-year-old defenceman via waivers ahead of a stretch of three games in four days this week.<\/p>\n
The team announced the addition of Oliver Turner via a waiver claime from the Erie Otters this afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cOliver is a player we\u2019ve continued to follow since his OHL draft year,” Greyhounds general manager Kyle Raftis said.<\/p>\n
“After having his season\u00a0cut short by injury last year, we see this as a great opportunity for him to get back on track and continue to develop his game. A right-shot defenceman with his size and skating ability is something we wanted to add, and we\u2019re confident he\u2019ll bring a strong presence to our blue line and our room.”<\/p>\n
Turner was selected by the Otters in the fourth round of the 2023 OHL Priority Selection and is in his second season in the OHL.<\/p>\n
The 6’5″, 201-pound defenceman played in three games this season with the Otters.<\/p>\n
Turner played in 31 games last year with the Otters, picking up an assist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Soo Greyhounds have added a 19-year-old defenceman via waivers ahead of a stretch of three games in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[136,138,137,127806],"class_list":["post-312722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news","tag-soo-greyhoundsoliver-turner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
