HARTFORD, March 18, 2014: Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack has signed forward Nick Latta to an Amateur Tryout (ATO) agreement.
Latta, a 6-1, 195-pound native of Peiting, Germany, was the co-leading goal-scorer for the Ontario Hockey League’s Sarnia Sting this season, denting the net 38 times in 65 games. The 20-year-old Latta also added 28 assists for 66 points, which ranked third among Sting skaters, and his 87 penalty minutes were fourth-most on the team.
In four OHL seasons with Sarnia, Latta totaled 68 goals and 52 assists for 120 points, along with 204 PIM.
