The Wings Athletic Club announced today that they have signed their first pick in the 2020 HBL Entry Draft, Landon Descheneau.

The 5’11” 120lb defenseman put up 20 goals and added 40 assists in 30 games last year with the Hinton Legion Midget Devils.

Assistant GM Greg Nagam was happy with how the draft lottery played out. “I’ve been playing bingo at the Friendship Center for years and I’ve never been more excited to see a ball pop up. I’m proud of the work our scouts put in and Landon was an easy choice at first overall.”

The 18 year old Descheneau is an injection of youth into an aging Wings roster. Brady Dallaire will surely be elated to relinquish the distinction of youngest player on the team.

Descheneau is expected to make his debut Thursday night as The Wings take on the Bulldogs at 9:15.
