Lansink earns draft
pick to Erie Otters
Clinton hockey player
announced in
12th round
Gerard Creces
Clinton News -Record
Clinton's own Holdyn Lansink is on the
road to the OHL after being selected as a 12th
round Priority Selection for the Erie Otters
Saturday, April 5. Lansink currently plays for
the Huron -Perth Minor Midget Lakers AAA
club, and has been having a great year in the
stats.
In regular season, Lansink racked up 29
points, 16 of them goals. In the post -season,
however, he amassed 18 points in 15 games,
eight goals, 10 assists, giving him a 1.2 points
per game average.
When the draft was announced Saturday,
Lansink said his whole family was gathered
around the computer for pretty much the
whole day. The only trouble was, they didn't
get to see him getting picked.
"The pick right before I went... the whole
website went down," he said. "We were all
anxiouslywaiting and it crashed on us."
However, not long after, Lansink received a
call from the Otters congratulating him on
the draft pick and welcoming him to the
organization. It was an emotional moment.
"I was at a loss. I was speechless," he said of
the big announcement. "I jumped up and
gave my mom and dad the biggest hug."
As a 16 -year old, Lansink said it will be
pretty tough to crack the OHL, but plans to go
out for skates with some Junior B sqauds and
get his foot in the door. He heads to camp in
Erie in August, and hopes to land a spot on a
Junior B team in Listowel or Stratford.
Holdyn Lansink of Clinton received a
call from the Erie Otters Saturday, April
5, offering him congratulations at being
chosen by the organization in the 12th
round of the OHL Priority Selection Draft.
"That's the goal anyway," he said Sunday.
Playing for the Lakers had been a dream
for Lansink, so the OHL draft was icing on the
cake.
Lansink is currently in Grade 10 at St.
Anne's, and said while hockey is his career
ambition, he would like to pursue something
in chiropractic or personal training - "stuff to
do with the human body" as he puts it.
"It's been a crazy 24 hours," he said Sun-
day. From the moment his name was
announced, he has been flooded with con-
gratulatory calls, and the support he has
received from his family and friends has been
amazing throughout the whole year.
He likes the physical side of his game,
opening up the ice for his teammates and
"getting crafty" with the puck
"I like to set up plays and drive the net
hard, with or without the puck," he said.
