Flint, Mich. - Flint Firebirds forward Amadeus Lombardi has been selected in the 4th round (#113 overall) by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2022 NHL Draft, becoming the first Firebird to ever be drafted by the Red Wings.
Lombardi was a 13th round (#245 overall) selection by Flint back in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection. In his first season, he produced 18 G and 41 A for 59 points which ranked 2nd on the team. He added 7 G and 8 A in the 2022 OHL Playoffs, also finishing second on the team with 15 points.
