Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: was acquired by the Cowichan Valley Capitals from the Merrit Centennials mid-season, and finished the year with combined totals of four goals and 14 assists in 46 games to go along with 18 PIM's. The blueliner started last season at the training camp of the WHL's Calgary Hitmen, but was a late cut and was subsequently re-assigned to the BCHL. He was one of the youngest players eligible for the 2009 draft, and was subseqently selected by the Devils in the final round of the draft proceedings.
Talent Analysis
The 18-year-old moves the puck well and already has good size. Once he begins to fill out his sizable frame, he should eventually emerge into an intimidating force on the backend.
Future
Gedig has plenty of time to develop, given his age and the depth the Devils currently have on the blueline in the system. While he has the option of going to the WHL, he also has the option of going the collegiate route, but he has yet to commit to a college at this time. That decision will likely come this season.
