Swedish defenceman Adam Thilander has agreed to terms on a standard player’s agreement that includes an education package, and will join the North Bay Battalion for the 2016-17 season.
Thilander, who turns 18 on Sept. 18, was selected 36th overall in the Canadian Hockey League Import Draft.
The right-shot defender played for a variety of teams in Sweden last season.
Thilander joins left winger Max Kislinger, a resident of Farchant, Germany, as the only imports on the Battalion.
