The Oshawa Generals are hoping their number one draft pick can one day be their number one goalie.
General Manager/Coach Chris DePiero and the Generals officially welcomed the team’s first draft pick to the club on Monday as Kevin Bailie paid a visit to the General Motors Centre and signed with the Ontario Hockey League club.
Bailie is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound Belleville native who was outstanding with the Quinte Red Devils last season. The Generals took him with their first pick in June’s OHL Priority selection and number 16 overall, making him the only goalie selected in the first round this year.
“We are happy that Kevin has joined the Generals organization,” DePiero said. “He’s a big efficient goaltender who should develop over his time in the Ontario Hockey League.”
