Corbin Baldwin who has played the last four years with the Spokane
Chiefs of the Western Hockey League has signed a one way American Hockey
League contract with the Houston Aeros. The Aeros are the top minor
league affiliate of the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League.
Baldwin, 21, had just completed his overage season with the Chiefs,
serving as an Assistant Captain, and collecting 6 goals and 27 assists
for 33 points. Baldwin is an exceptional shot blocker, has a great
defensive stick and is tough, amassing 138 penalty minutes in his final
season in the WHL.
Baldwin attended the Minnesota Wild
Development Camp in early July, and was able to earn the one year AHL
deal based on his performance at that camp. The contract also includes a
signing bonus. “I’m excited to get the opportunity to show what I can
do as a professional,” said Baldwin when reached at his home in
Winnipeg, Manitoba, “and I want to thank the Spokane Chiefs and coach
Don Nachbaur for all that they have done in helping me get to this point
in my career.” Baldwin will attend training camp with the Minnesota
Wild barring a work stoppage in the NHL, and if that event occurs, will
report to the Houston Aeros camp on September 27 to commence his
professional career.
“Corbin has tremendous work ethic, is a
prototypical defensive defenseman, and has the drive and determination
and ability to make it to the highest level,” said Turning Point
Executive Director Carlos Sosa. “Corbin also has something you cannot
teach – exceptional size at 6’5”, and is quite mobile for a big man.”
Turning Point wishes Corbin the best as he turns the page to the next
chapter in his hockey journey.
