Erie, Pennsylvania - The Erie Otters Hockey Club announced today the selection of defenseman George Alboim from the Central Ontario Wolves with the 70th overall selection in the 2021 OHL Priority Section presented by Real Canadian Superstore.

Alboim, a 6-foot-two-inch, 175-pound Uxbridge, Ontario native, appeared in 39 games for the Wolves during the 19-20 season scoring 10 goals and 13 assists for 23 points.

"George is a complete right-shot defenseman who demonstrates a strong work ethic both on and off the ice. George takes care of his defensive zone and likes to contribute offensively as well. Managing the puck effectively, joining the rush, and supporting his forwards in the offensive zone was a strength that stood out to us. In addition, George displays a ton of confidence, is super competitive and a natural leader, captaining his team for the last five years. Welcome to the Otters organization George," said Devin Brown, Co-Director of Scouting.
