Portland Winterhawks News Release
Portland, Ore. - Another former Winterhawk signed on the dotted line Tuesday, as defenseman Dennis Cholowski officially agreed to terms with the Seattle Kraken.
Cholowski, 23, was Seattle's pick from the Detroit Red Wings in their expansion draft earlier this summer. Detroit originally selected the defenseman with the 20th overall selection in the 2016 NHL Draft.
The Langley, British Columbia-born product totaled 27 points in 32 regular season games with Portland during the 2017-18 season, coming over mid-season from the Prince George Cougars. Cholowski also contributed seven points in 12 playoff games for the club to conclude his junior career.
The Kraken and Cholowski will begin their first season as an NHL member club this fall. The club will play six total preseason games beginning September 26, including all three of their "home" games being played in Western Hockey League rinks (Everett, Seattle and Spokane).
