Dreams Do Come True...


Jason Kasdorf


The Jets added some local flavour to their draft by choosing goaltender Jason Kasdorf with their 157th overall pick. The Winnipeg native spent the last two seasons with the Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, winning the Turnbull Cup and Anavet Cup last season, and earning a berth in the 2011 Royal Bank Cup.

“Getting drafted to my hometown team feels awesome, I’ve never been so excited in my life,” said Kasdorf. The 6’4 goaltender has committed to playing at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) of the NCAA next season. -NHL.com

Kasdorf has previously helped provide instruction to goaltenders at GDI Prairies Regional Summer Camps, along with having instruction himself at the GDI Winnipeg Training Center. A great athlete, and a great person, Kasdorf represents a humble goaltender that loves to compete. Due to a resilient career thus far, battling through making it to the next level through his younger years, he has moved into a new class due to his excellent work ethic.

GDI Prairies would like congratulate Kazzy on all his recent success over this past year, and wish him all the best for many years to come!
