Nikolas Koberstein - D - 6'2/205 - Olds (AJHL)The 205th ranked North American skater according to NHL Central Scouting
• This season has been an eventful one for Koberstein as he committed to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, participated in the CJHL top prospects game, and was named to the AJHL's South Division All-Rookie Team.
• In total he posted 5 goals, 18 points and 153 penalty minutes in 51 regular season games. Koberstein added 2 assists while logging a ton of minutes along side fellow rookie Chaydan Lauber in 9 playoff games for Olds.
“Koberstein was a guy we went under the radar, we had our fingerprints
all over. We spent some time with him after the season, and I think this
guy has some good upside and long range projection. He's a great kid,
tons of character but he's a good hockey player too. He'll come to our development camp next week and we'll go from there.
He's a guy we call a five-year player. He'll go back to Olds, be the
captain, be the leader, play there another year and then go to the NCAA.
It's a five year potential commitment on him.” - Trevor Timmins (Montreal Canadiens, Director of Amateur Scouting)
"He's an exciting young player and would certainly benefit the Pats back end should he report." - Phil Andrews (Radio voice of Regina Pats)
