Saint Paul, Minn. - Spirit center Hunter Haight has signed a three year entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild, the team announced this morning. Haight was selected in the second round (47th overall) by Minnesota in the 2022 NHL Draft.

"I am extremely honoured to be signing my first NHL contract," said Haight. "I'm grateful to all those who have been a part of my life to help get me here. Special thanks to the Spirit organization, my family, and my teammates."

Haight was acquired by the Spirit via a trade with the Barrie Colts on December 1st. Upon his arrival in Saginaw, the Strathroy, Ont. native embarked on a ten-game scoring streak that saw him net seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points. In his Spirit tenure so far, Haight has 36 points (14G, 22A) in 33 games.

The Barrie Colts selected Haight with the ninth overall pick in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection. The Wild selected him after a rookie season in which he recorded 22 goals, 19 assists, and 41 points in 63 games. Haight currently has 39 goals, 47 assists, and 86 points in his 116-game OHL career.

As a U16 player prior to his OHL selection, Haight's 32 goals with the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs AAA led the league, and the Chiefs went on to win an ALLIANCE U16 Championship.
