Dalyn Wakely commits to Battalion
North Bay, Ont. — Centre Dalyn Wakely has signed a standard player’s agreement, including an education package, with the North Bay Battalion, the Ontario Hockey League club announced Monday.
North Bay chose Wakely from the Quinte Red Devils minor midgets in the second round, 30th overall, of the OHL Priority Selection on April 4. A five-foot-11, 164-pound resident of Port Hope, Ont., the right shot scored 30 goals and earned 42 assists for 72 points with 62 penalty minutes in 36 games before adding 11 points, including four goals, in eight playoff games.
“A huge moment in my life, thanks to the North Bay Battalion,” Wakely, who turned 16 on March 5, said via text. “Ready to go to war with the boys. Big things coming!”
General manager Adam Dennis noted that Wakely “is another player who was a leader of a championship program in minor midget.”
“He plays a complete game and is one of the elite goal scorers for his age. We look forward to helping Dalyn continue in his development.”
Wakely is the second player selected this year to commit to the Battalion for next season, after defenceman Ty Nelson, the No. 1 overall choice from the Toronto Jr. Canadiens.
