“Nolan brings us good size and presence through the middle and plays the game the right way, with and without the puck.

“I like his vision, and he brings others into the game with his heads up plays.

“He also plays with an edge, is strong on face-offs and has proven to be a top offensive forward during his career.

“His skill base will compliment our already talented lineup.”

Yaremko previously played with new defenceman Tyson Helgesen at Mount Royal University for 2 years.
