Boston Selects Spitfire Forward Lane MacDermid in the Fourth Round at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft

(Windsor) Earlier today, the Boston Bruins selected Spitfire left-winger Lane MacDermid in the fourth round, 112th overall at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft in Montreal. This past season, the Sauble Beach, Ontario native was acquired by Windsor in December through a trade with the Owen Sound Attack and made an immediate impact with the Spitfires, playing a rugged and physical brand of hockey. Overall, MacDermid scored 15 goals and added 20 assists for 35 points in 64 games, while posting a +22 plus/minus rating. He also finished second in the OHL with 197 penalty minutes. As a member of the Spitfires, he scored 7 goals and added 14 assists for 21 points, with a +23 plus/minus rating and 112 penalty minutes.

MacDermid’s gritty play was a key element to Windsor’s success in both the 2009 OHL Playoff and MasterCard Memorial Cup Championship performances. He also contributed offensively, scoring 4 goals and 5 assists for 9 points in 20 OHL playoff games and provided a physical presence for the Spitfires at the Memorial Cup.
