Bluechip Prospect joins Desert Dogs

BC boy Kyle Turris, is making his way to the big league.

The 18-year-old signed an entry-level contract and is headed to join the Coyotes to play out the final games of the regular season.

"We are very excited to sign Kyle and have him join the Coyotes organization," said Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney in a statement. "He is a very talented player and is a big part of our future. By adding him to the roster, we hope to give him valuable experience that will help him heading into next season and beyond."

The 3rd overall pick in the 2007 NHL entry draft adds more talent to Gretzky's youthful squad.

Turris stands as the highest ever drafted Tier II Junior "A" player since the level's inception by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in 1970.

The future looks bright for the Phoenix Coyotes, but will they be able to compete in a highly competitive Western Conference.
