A fourth Manitoban has been selected in this year’s NHL draft
Winnipeg’s Jonas Woo was picked in the sixth round, 185th-overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
The undersized 19-year-old defenceman spent last season with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League, putting up 86 points (29G, 57A) in 56 regular season games and adding 17 points (8G, 9A) in 13 playoff games.
His older brother, Jett, was picked by the Vancouver Canucks in the second round of the 2018 draft but has yet to make his NHL debut, spending his first six pro seasons at the AHL level.
