The NAHL’s entry draft will be held July 14.
ANOTHER TENDER
Before the draft, the Nordiques announced the tender signing of forward Brendan Gibbons. The 19-year-old from South Kingston, Rhode Island, played in the NCDC with the Jr. Bruins and P.A.L. Islanders. In 33 regular season games, he tallied six goals and 13 assists.
The Nordiques also officially announced that Maine Nordiques Academy 18U defenseman Kadsen Johnson has signed a tender with the NAHL team. He had 12 goals and 38 assists in 55 games with the 18U team. He also appeared in seven games with the NAHL Nordiques, recording two assists.
Johnson was a supplemental draft pick by the Nordiques last year.
• The Hurricanes tied it late in the third period thanks to a slick saucer-pass from Jaccob Slavin, former Chicago Steel defenseman and older brother of Blackhawks prospect Josiah Slavin, to pending free agent this summer Dougie Hamilton.
What a timely goal by future #Blackhawks defenseman Dougie Hamilton!
• Hey, you never know right?
• We’d head to overtime for the fourth-straight game in the series, but we wouldn’t have to wait long for the game-winner and the series-winner.

• It was Slavin involved again on the game-winning goal, but it was Sebastian Aho getting a tip on the puck that made the difference in the game, giving the Hurricanes the 4-3 win and the 4-2 series victory.
