LOCAL 2010 OSHL STANDOUT TAGAN ABBITT SIGNS WITH DELTA

Delta College Prep is proud to announce the signing of 2010 forward Tagan Abbitt from the Pickerington Prowlers of the OSHL.

Tagan brings strong offensive upside, quick foot speed, and a mature compete level for his age. While his Pickerington varsity statistics are unavailable, he also competed with Team Columbus 16U during split season where he recorded 2 goals and 1 assist for 3 points in 12 games. Tagan also appeared in several games with Delta College Prep last season as an affiliate player. In those appearances, he impressed our staff with his pace, vision, physicality, and ability to create offense from the middle of the ice.

Head Coach Mitch Gillespie:“We’re excited to welcome Tagan Abbitt to the program. As a freshman center who finished the season as a starter for the Pickerington Prowlers varsity team, Tagan also saw action in a few games with Delta this past year and performed very well. He brings high hockey IQ and versatility, having played both center and wing throughout the season. He is a strong, physical presence down the middle with clear offensive upside, and we’re very excited to see the strides Tagan will make with us this upcoming season.”

General Manager David Dew:“We are very happy to bring Tagan into Delta for a full season. He joined us as an affiliate player in a few games last year, and we really liked his game. He has quick foot speed, makes physical body contact in all three zones, and finds his teammates well, especially from the more intense areas of the ice. He plays bigger and acts older than he is, and we believe he will be an excellent addition to this year’s culture and roster.”
