“Alex had a good draft year and was a player that we really coveted leading up to the draft and we’re excited that he was available with our 2nd pick and even more excited now that he is committed to our team,” said General Manager Mike McKenzie. “We look forward to seeing him develop in Kitchener and be a big part of our blueline moving forward. Welcome to the Rangers Alex and Bilecki family.”
Bilecki is a left-shot defenceman standing at 6-foot-1 and 155 pounds. With his dominant presence on the blueline this season, he registered eight goals and 24 points in 33 games with the Mississauga Rebels. Bilecki came to play at the OHL Cup last month where he scored two goals and four assists while advancing to the quarterfinals in the tournament.
“I can’t wait to throw this jersey on and play in front of the best fans in the best rink,” said Bilecki. “Kitchener is a great organization, and I just want to put in the hard work and develop my game to play for a great team.” Bilecki will wear number 89 for the Rangers.
