Oshawa Generals News Release


Oshawa, ON - The Generals have selected Tobias Lindberg with their first pick in the CHL Import Draft. The 6'3" right winger hails from Stockholm, Sweden and was a fourth round draft pick to Ottawa Senators in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and is currently attending the Senators training camp. The 18-year-old played with Djurg=E5rden J20 of the J20 SuperElit this year where he totalled 7 goals and 15 assists in 38 games.

With the Generals second pick they have selected Sonny Hertzberg. The 19-year-old comes to Oshawa as a 6-foot, 187 pound defender from Herning, Denmark. Accumulating 4 goals and 9 assists in 42 games playing with Frölunda HC J20 of the J20 SuperElit, look for Sonny as he will represent Denmark in this year's World Junior Hockey Championship in Toronto and Montreal this winter.

The two-round draft took place online with the order of selection rotating through each of the CHL's three leagues using an inverse order of final regular season standings within each league from the 2013-14 season. The OHL's Sarnia Sting held the number one pick, followed by the Quebec Remparts who acquired the second overall selection following a 2012 trade with the Sherbrooke Phoenix. The WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes selected third overall. Each team in the CHL is permitted to dress and play a maximum of two import players each season who are selected annually through the CHL Import Draft.
