7th Round - 146th overall - From the Denver Pioneers...

GOALTENDER
6-3 - 186
Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia
>>>
>>>"Cheverie, or Chevy, as his teammates like to call him, covers the net effectively with his 6’2” 186 lbs frame. He is quite athletic and has above average quickness with good reflexes for a goalie his size. He also likes to challenge shooters and takes an aggressive approach to goaltending." -HockeysFuture.com
>>>The 23-year-old was named player of the year in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association after leading the nation in wins (24) while posting a 2.08 goals-against average, .932 save percentage and six shutouts. Cheverie was also a finalist for the Hobey Award, honouring the top player in Division I men’s hockey.
>>>"We're are extremely pleased to have been able to draft such a high caliber goaltender at that place in the draft," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "The NCAA has historically produced some wonderful goaltenders. We just drafted the very best from last season."
>>>With one year left of college eligibility, Cheverie has decided to forgo that final year and turn pro. He is expected to man the crease in Duluth with the Timberwolves 6th round pick, Chad Johnson this upcoming season.
>>>Officially, the 2010 CCHL Entry Draft is complete for Thunder Bay. But the league has decided to award a "bonus" player that was not drafted to all 22 teams.
