Tigers pick up another recruit out of the OJHL. A goalie to replace Ropponen.

Rubys stats put him at 3rd in the goalie rankings (GAA) 2nd place is currently held by Jimmy Sarjeant of Newmarket who is heading to Mercyhurst next year.
Wellington is in first place in the OJHL East Division with 72pts, and are currently nationally ranked at 11th in the CJHL top20. For comparison, Powell River (BCHL) with 2 RIT recruits (Garbowsky & Schuler) is ranked 5th.
Given the almost identical lines over the past 2 seasons, this is a pretty consistent guy. Assuming Madolora and Watson stick around next year, the Tigers should have one heck of a crew in goal.
