Alexis Gravel has committed to joining the Halifax Mooseheads.
The 6-foot-2, 196 pound goaltender was selected 20th overall by the Herd in the QMJHL Entry Draft where the he was the second-ranked goalie available.
“We are excited to have a goalie of Alexis’ experience and quality join the Mooseheads,” General Manager Cam Russell said.
The 16-year-old is expected to share time in net with Moose veteran Kevin Resop.
Gravel participated in Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence U17 Goaltending Camp and Canada’s Under 17 National Development Camp in Calgary.
He also helped Team Canada win a silver medal at the 2016 Youth Olympics in Norway, and Russell says he and the team’s scouting staff liked what they saw.
“We were impressed with his poise, quickness and consistency in Norway and look forward to seeing him in a Mooseheads jersey.”
Gravel will join the Mooseheads at training camp later this month at Cole Harbour Place.
