The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Miners, proud members of the NAPHL, are pleased to announce that 16U and 18U forward Adrian Danchenko has signed an NAHL tender agreement with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights in the NAHL.
Danchenko, 16, is in his first season playing in the NAPHL and has spent time playing on both the 16U and 18U teams. The native of Palm City, Florida, has spent the first two events playing at both levels and been successful at both.
Danchenko (6’3/175) has played nine games with the 16U team and four games with the 18U team. Entering the third NAPHL event of the season in Aston, PA this week, both teams have seven wins in 10 games played and sit in good playoff positioning.
At the 18U level, Danchenko has three points in four games and at the 16U level he has recorded 13 points in nine games played. His 13 points currently ranks tied for 7th among NAPHL 16U players.
Danchenko also played in the 2015 USA Hockey Select 16 festival.
A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders, which include two (2) tenders exclusively used on players from the NAPHL - plus or minus any trades - which became active on Nov. 1. Tendered players are not eligible for the NAHL draft, which will be held in June of 2016.
