“We are extremely pleased that Ethan and his family have chosen to be apart of the Thunderbirds,” Said Director of Player Personnel Craig Goebel. “Ethan’s ability to get pucks moved efficiently out of his own end, provide a strong presence in the defensive zone, and move up in the play we think will be an asset on our blue line for years”.
Creran was drafted by the T-Birds in the 10th round 219th overall in the 2023 WHL Prospects Draft.
