Turning Point Client Wil Tomchuk Signs With The Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League

May 14, 2012

Wil Tomchuk from Fort McMurray, Alberta has signed a Western Hockey League Education Contract with the Tri City Americans.

Tomchuk, 17, was born in Fort McMurray, Alberta and played this past season with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Tomchuk had 1 goal, 5 assists in 54 games with the northern Alberta team.

Tomchuk was never drafted into the Western Hockey League, but was listed early in the 2011-12 season by the Medicine Hat Tigers. After being released from their list, Tomchuk was listed by the Tri City Americans who made the decision to sign him after the conclusion of Tomchuk’s AJHL season and the WHL season.

“Wil had a very good rookie season in the AJHL. He is a good skater that plays with an edge,” explained Tri City Americans General Manager Bob Tory. “He will add considerable depth to our blueline next season.”

“We are pleased that Wil and his family have chosen the Americans and the WHL to pursue his hockey aspirations,” Tory continued. “We look forward to Wil making a positive contribution to our hockey team.”

Tomchuk is a 6’2” 180 lb defenseman who is a fine skater and can play a shut down game as well as contribute offensively by making smart plays and the first pass. Tomchuk once again underscores that while it is great to be drafted, if you wish to be a player you need to continue to work hard and hone your skills and the opportunities will present themselves for advancement to the highest level of play possible. Tomchuk is excited to join the Americans, and looks forward to playing in the Western Hockey League in the 2012-13 season for Tri City, as he pursues his hockey goals.

Turning Point congratulates Wil on this new chapter of his career, and welcomes him and his parents Bob and Lisa, to the Turning Point team of athletes.
