PHILADELPHIA —
Another Mainer is heading to the NHL.
Westbrook native Carter Amico was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round of the NHL Draft on Saturday night. The 6-foot-6 defenseman played with the U.S. National Team Development Program and is set to join Boston University as a freshman this fall.
Amico says his size is one of his biggest assets.
“My physicality, and having my frame, I definitely try to use that to my advantage,” he said.
He also knows there’s room to grow.
“I think my tools, I’ve got a lot of them, I just think they need to be sharpened more. I think my puck play is one of my strengths but also one of my weaknesses. I think it could be more consistent throughout my year,” Amico said.
