Bulls Acquire Steven Broek

 

 Belleville Bulls Head Coach and General Manager George Burnett announced early Tuesday that the team has acquired left-winger Steven Broek from the Kingston Frontenacs for a 2nd round pick in  the 2011 OHL Priority Selection along
with an additional 5th round pick in 2013.

The sophomore winger is a native of nearby Tweed and returns to Belleville where he played his AAA hockey up through the ranks.

The 6 foot 1, 210Ibs power forward was Kingston's 2nd round (22nd overall) selection in 2009 from the Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget AAA program where he was a teammate of Bulls goaltender Tyson Teichmann.

"Steven is a guy who interested us prior to the 2009 OHL Priority Selection and we're very happy to add him to our core of solid young forwards," said Burnett following the deal. "He's been difficult to acquire but we look forward to having him in the lineup on Wednesday night."

Steven Broek, Kingston Frontenacs

Broek is a big power forward with very good offensive abilities. He was drafted 22nd overall by the Frontenacs. He plays with a shoot first mentality. Broek recorded 43 goals and 34 assists in 71 games for the Quinte Red Devils before being drafted.




He was tied with another prospect, Boone Jenner, with 6 goals at the OHL Cup tournament.



Plays a hard gritty game, and is willing to drop the gloves. Has a determination to win and shows it in his game. He plays with a lot of passion.



In 53 games as a rookie he scored 4 goals and added 3 assists. With his determination, he could very easily push the 40 goal mark next season.
