Wings Tender Leitner

Aberdeen Wings News Release


The Aberdeen Wings, proud members of the North American Hockey League, are pleased to announce the signing of Defenseman Nick Leitner to a tender agreement for the 2016-2017 season.  The Bemidji, MN native is the second player signed to a tender by the Wings for 16-17, and will join his brother Jake next season, who is currently in his rookie campaign in Aberdeen.  The younger Leitner checks in at 5'11, 175 pounds.

"Nick is a strong, athletic Defenseman who skates hard and competes to keep the puck out of his net while also creating offense for his team," Assistant Coach / Director of Scouting Mike Grattan said.  "We think Nick has great upside and we look forward to coaching him in the future."

Leitner just wrapped a 19 game Minnesota High School Elite League season with Team Great Plains.  He tallied 6 points in the regular season and put up 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 playoff games.  He will now begin his high school season with Bemidji High School, a program that has also produced former Wings Jordan Heller and Dillon Eichstadt.
