The 6'3", 240 lbs netminder was also selected to represent Alliance Hockey in the 2015 OHL Gold Cup where he went 2-0 while maintaining a 1.50 GAA. Most recently, Hughes was invited to attend Hockey Canada's Summer Showcase and take part in the National Under-17 development camp.
Sinclair comments on the Sting's most recent signing, "We are very pleased to welcome Aidan and his family to our organization. He is a player that our scouting staff thought very highly of going into the draft, and we feel he has a very bright hockey future ahead of him. As a group, we look forward to working with Aidan to further his development as a goaltender and young man, both on and off the ice."
