Bird led the Blizzard in scoring with 16 goals and 30 assists for a total of 46 points last season. Bird also had 46 points last season as a member of the Swift Current Legionnaires U18 team of the Saskatchewan Male AAA Hockey League U18.
“Boston is a player with a high ceiling. He has the tenacity, grit and skill to be a top end player in the NAHL. We are excited to add him to our roster and welcome him to the Jacks family.”
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, plus or minus any trades, which become active on Nov. 1. Tendered players are not eligible for the NAHL draft. (Information provided by NAHL.com)
