On Tuesday, a week after commitments from Andrew and Jacob LeBlanc, the Rangers announced the signing of teammate Trent Swick to an OHL Standard Player Agreement. Swick, the Thorold, ON native played along side Andrew most of the season recording 55 points (26G, 29A) over 32 regular season games with the Admirals. The winger also tallied another 12 goals and 12 assists over 13 playoff games prior to the season being cut short.Swick will add some immediate size up front being listed at just under 6'5 and 185lbs, something the Rangers had been lacking in earlier rounds of previous drafts. With his big frame, Swick projects as a player who can develop into a strong power forward in the years to come.
Rangers GM Mike McKenzie had this to say about Trent and his commitment to the Rangers, "He is a big kid that has great hands and can really score goals. We see him as a player with a very bright future and someone who will be a force in our league as he gets older."
"We look forward to seeing him develop in Kitchener and would like to welcome Trent and his family to the Rangers."
