Huntsville Otters Head Coach and General Manager Brian O’Leary has announced the signing of DANE HORVAT for the 2010-11 OJAHL season.
The Milton native returns to the Otters in his overage year and will captain the team for the second straight season.
“Dane’s a leader and competitor in every sense of the word,” said O’Leary. “It’s those two qualities we are going to be relying on to help lead the way during the regular season and definitely in our preparations as we host the Dudley Hewitt Cup next April.”
Horvat was the team’s leading scorer in the 2009-10 season, tallying 66 points (29G 37 A) in 55 games. Horvat is also recognized for bringing his teammates together for many community events, including visits to schools and hospitals.
“Coming back to Huntsville to finish my junior hockey career is special for two reasons. Playing in the new Summit Centre means playing in the best junior A facility in Ontario, but more importantly, it’s an opportunity to play with a special group of guys who have the talent to take the Otters all the way,” added Horvat.
In 90 career regular season games with the Otters, Horvat has averaged just under a point a game pace, tallying 35 goals and 54 assists for 89 points.
The Huntsville Otters will host the 2011 Dudley Hewitt Cup at the new Summit Centre from April 18-23, 2011.
