Another new Star signs up

DUNDEE CCS Stars have announced the addition of Canadian defenceman Emerson Hrynyk (above) to their roster for the coming season.

The 24-year-old joins the club from Mount Royal University where he made over 80 appearances during a four year spell.

Standing at 6’ 2” and weighing 187 pounds, Hrynyk will be a formidable presence on Stars’ blueline.

Coach Omar Pasha said of his new charge: “Emerson had four successful seasons with Mount Royal where he helped the programme grow.

“He’s just a hungry player ready to start his first season as a professional with us.

“Emerson is a strong young defenceman, strong in the corners and he doesn’t hold back.

“He works hard on and off the ice plus he adds a bit more size at the back which I felt we needed.

“He also has a lot of leadership qualities and will be a good signing for us.”

Hrynyk said: “I am really excited to be joining up at Stars.

“It’s been a busy week, talking to Omar Pasha and I’m over the moon to have signed.

“I’m a defensive D-man and take care of things at my own end and move the puck around.

“I bring a lot of physicality to the game.

“I like to hit everything that moves so I will be physical.

“I know this a good league I am joining and I am really looking forward to it and to meeting the Dundee fans.”
