FORT FRANCES, ON – The Fort Frances Lakers are pleased to announce the first player signings of the 2023-24 season, with the signing of Landon Lowes to a standard players agreement.
The 6’0, 165-pound forward spent last season with the Kenora Thistles U18 AAA program, posting 43 points in 40 games during the 2022-23 campaign. Lowes joined the Lakers as an affiliate at the end of last season, scoring 1 assist in 3 playoff games.
“Landon played well for us as an affiliate last year, and we’re expecting him to take on a bigger role this season,” said Lakers General Manager, Luke Judson. “What he exemplifies as a player, teammate, and person are exactly the traits we are trying to bring to the Lakers.”
“We are excited to have local talent like Landon, who brings a strong work-ethic and is an offensive threat,” said Lakers Head Coach, Tyler Miller. “He contributed points for us in the playoffs, and we are looking to see more of that this coming season.”
