Eagle Lake First Nation’s Daimon Gardner is one step closer to his dream of playing in the NHL.

The 6’4”, 200 lb centre has been selected 112th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft held in Montreal this weekend.

He was ranked as the #54th best prospect in this year’s draft by Elite Prospects. They say Gardner’s elite senses help him drive the middle lane and he uses his large frame to protect against defenders. As well, he’s strong offensively and is willing to win battles, bully defenders and create screens in front of the net.
