Biography
Defenseman Cameron Cepek has entered his third WHL season with the Portland Winter Hawks. The Habs decided to gamble on the blue-liner after he played only 21 games last season due to a wrist injury. However, it was the 10 points and 71 PIM that caught the scouts’ eyes during that short span of 21 games. Cepek will look to build on his early success last season with the Winter Hawks this year. |
