Tonka Bay, Minnesota
>>>
>>>With their second pick of the 2010 CCHL Entry Draft, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves select, from Minnetonka High School, Justin Holl.
>>>Holl is a 6'2" defenseman who plays a smooth, puck-moving game. The Tonka Bay, Minnesota-native completed his senior season at Minnetonka as a captain with a trip to the famed Minnesota State Hockey Tournament. Upon the completion of his high school career, Holl joined the USHL's Omaha Lancers for the remainder of their regular season and playoffs.
>>>Holl is expected to play all of next season with the Lancers, and has commited to the University of Minnesota for the 2011-12 season.
>>>"Justin's skills as a offensive-defenseman are something that any team covets," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "He thinks the game at an elite level, has tasted success at the high school ranks. Has obviously shined in front of the big crowds at the tournament. We're thrilled to have drafted him and to continue his development at a stellar program in Omaha and then on to Minnesota. He is in good hands."
>>>The Timberwolves have two more picks in the third round at 65 and 66.
