Sohor to make debut Friday

Published 9:56 am Thursday, February 21, 2008

The Silvertips have called up defenseman Paul Sohor for Friday’s game at Spokane. The 1991-born Sohor, Everett’s fifth-round pick in the 2006 bantam draft, is playing Junior A for the Selkirk Steelers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, where he has one goal, eight assists and 45 penalty minutes in 54 games. He fills the void created by Graham Potuer’s suspension.

Get used to this name. Sohor may have been the best player during rookie camp in September, and getting a regular shift as a 16-year-old defenseman in the MJHL is pretty impressive. He isn’t the biggest guy or a big point producer, but he can skate and is solid as they come. I expect Sohor to be a regular for several years here in Everett.
