Spirit sign third-round selection Levi Harper

Saginaw, Mich. – The Saginaw Spirit has signed defenceman Levi Harper to a Standard Player Agreement, officially joining the organization.

“This is an incredibly exciting day,” said Spirit GM Dave Drinkill. “Any time you go into a draft, you have an idea of how you want it to go.”

Blueliner Levi Harper of Tampa, Florida rounded out the signings on Friday afternoon. A re-entry pick in this year’s draft as a 2008 birth year, Harper enjoyed a career year with the Shattuck St. Mary’s U16 program, tallying 11G-33A–44P in 55 games to lead their blue line in scoring.

“It’s such an exciting moment,” said Harper. “This team is known for its prestige, development, and production of players. I was super happy to be chosen by the Spirit.”

Harper will wear number 4 in Saginaw.
