As teammates with the Prince George Cougars, Riley Heidt and Koehn Zimmer have cemented their bond even tighter the past two Western Hockey League seasons as linemates.The Minnesota Wild made Heidt their choice at the end of the second round to select him 64th overall. Then in the third round, 78th overall, Ziemmer’s NHL rights were locked up by the Los Angeles Kings.
“You never really know, I guess, but I was for sure on the edge of my seat for a long time there and to eventually hear my name called it’s obviously an honour,” said Heidt, at a media availability. “With all my family, I’ve got so much support here, all the people who have helped me along the way so far. We have a great staff up there and a ton of support and they’ve helped us a lot.”
“This is obviously when the hard works starts and I’m going to do everything to prove I can be there,” said Heidt.
