Calgary, AB - The Calgary Hitmen Hockey Club is pleased to announce the selection of Austin Madaisky (Ma-DAY-ski) with the 14th overall pick in the 2007 WHL Bantam draft.
Madaisky is a 15-year-old defenceman from Surrey, British Columbia. Madaisky won a Western Canadian Bantam Championship this season with the Burnaby Winter Club Bruins.
