Regina Pats News Release
Regina, Saskatchewan - Regina Pats Senior VP and General Manager Chad Lang announced today the team has selected Russian defenceman Sergey Zborovsky ('97) with the 39th Overall pick in the 2014 CHL Import Draft. The pick was the Pats' only selection of the European Draft as Regina features two import players, Dmitry Sinitsyn and Maximilian Kammerer, on their roster.
Hailing from Moscow, Russia, Zborovsky played the 2013-14 season with the Dynamo Moskva U18. The 6'4.5", 194 lbs defender played 27 games while scoring six goals and adding ten assists.
"We're really excited about having the opportunity to select (Sergey)," commented Chad Lang. "We welcome his size to our back end. Being a '97 born player, we think he fits in well with the group we're trying to build around."
Zborovsky was also the 48th Overall selection in the 2014 KHL Draft by Dynamo Moskva.
The Sarnia Sting opened the Import Draft by selecting Czech forward Pavel Zacha. Sherbrooke of the QMJHL was up second and took Russian winger Vladislav Kamenev. The first WHL team to make a selection was Lethbridge as the Hurricanes snagged Russian forward Nikita Milekhin.
