The Battlefords North Stars have added a 20 year old as they gear up for another SJHL season.
They acquired Keaton Holinaty from the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for future considerations, according to a news release from the North Stars on Monday afternoon.
He is the second 20 year old acquired by the club this off-season. Other 20 year olds on the club for next season include Coby Downs, Logan Nachtegaele, Reed Delainey, Kendall Fransoo, Ryan Rewers and Connor Logan.
Holinaty is from Hardisty, Alta. He is a 6’ 2”, 190-pound forward who should add some needed toughness and experience to the North Stars’ lineup.
In his two seasons in Drumheller, Holinaty had seven goals and 16 assists in 98 games played. He also had 35 penalty minutes.
The North Stars organization says it has had its eye on Holinaty for some time, as he attended camp in the Battlefords before he joined Drumheller.
His midget hockey was in Wainwright and Holinaty also played for the Wainwright Bisons in junior B hockey during 2014-15, where he recorded 17 points in eight games.
