Cam Severson

Age: 20

Height: 6-2. Weight: 215.

Number: 22

Position: Left wing.

Hometown: Norquay, Saskatchewan

Last year: 32 goals and 36 assists with 217 penalty minutes.

NHL draft status: Unsigned eighth-round pick of the San Jose Sharks.

Quick check: Made immediate impact when acquired on Jan. 14 in preparation for a run at the Memorial Cup. His return to juniors is a huge, unexpected bonus. If he plays a second season in Spokane, the trade will rate among the most fortunate in club history.

Coach’s comment: “Big, strong, very physical, dominant player. He was a key guy last year but he wasn’t called on to be a leader. He has to lead this year.”
