Belleville Bulls News Release
BELLEVILLE, ON - Fans can expect to see Subban hockey for years to come in Belleville, as the Bulls promptly selected their third member of the Subban household at Saturday morning's OHL Priority Selection presented by State Farm.
At fifth overall, the Bulls took Jordan Subban, a defenceman from the Toronto Marlboros Minor Midget program. Following his older brothers P.K. (currently with the Montreal Canadiens) and Malcolm (currently in goal for the Bulls), Jordan brings a complete skill set to the Yardmen's big ice.
In 68 games this season, Subban scored 21 times and added 43 assists, helping lead the Marlboros to an OHL Cup Title in a 5-3 win over the Don Mills Flyers.
Subban comes with strong comparisons to older brother P.K., with strong skating skills and excellent instincts from the blueline.
The Bulls are happy to welcome Jordan to the organization and look forward to seeing him hit the ice at training camp in September.
Along with the Subban family, Jordan will be present at the Yardmen at 1:00pm this afternoon for photo and media opportunities. Fans are welcome to stop by and see the newest member of the Belleville Bulls Organization.
