Kitchener Rangers News Release
Kitchener Rangers Head Coach and General Manager Steve Spott has announced that the team has selected German forward Tobias Rieder 5th overall in the 2010 CHL Import Draft.
Rieder, a native of Landshut, Germany, played last season with the Landshut Cannibals of the Second German Professional League. He registered 10 goals and 13 assists for 23 points in 45 games in 2009-10.
He also suited up for Germany at the Division I Group A IIHF World Junior Championships where his team went undefeated and earned a berth in the 2011 World Junior Championships in Buffalo. He finished tied for second in team scoring with four goals and two assists in five games.
Rieder is described as a very skilled forward that plays with an edge and has the ability to be a game-breaker. He is eligible for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Spott had this to say of Rieder; "I have coached against Tobias at the U-18 World Championships and he was one of the elite players in the tournament as an underage. He will be an exciting addition to our line-up and I am confident that our fans will appreciate his skill level and the way he plays."
