Hawks Sign Ilijah Colina

The Portland Winterhawks have signed forward Ilijah Colina, the team’s eighth round pick in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.

Colina currently plays for the Valley West Hawks of the British Columbia Major Midget League. He posted 10 goals and 42 assists for 52 points during the regular season, which ranked him second on his team and fourth in league scoring.

“Ilijah had a terrific season in the BCMML and emerged as one of the top players in the league,” said Portland Winterhawks General Manager & Head Coach Jamie Kompon. “He helped lead his team to a first place finish as they enter the playoffs, an experience that will serve him well as he looks to join us next season.”

Colina is in his 15-year-old season, making him eligible to join the Hawks full-time next season.
