The Nipissing Lakers have added some size in their most recent recruit.

Deverick Ottereyes is a 6 foot 1 inch 190 pound forward who most recently played with Temiscaming of the GMHL.

Last season he had 21 points in 8 games.

He also played in the QJAAHL, that’s a Tier 2 league in Quebec and with Val-d’Or in junior in the QMJHL.

He also played in that league with franchises with Gatineau and Charlottetown. Coach Mike McParland says Deverick will give the team size, speed and grit for the upcoming season.
