Tigers Head Coach & General Manager Willie Desjardins says Lindstrom has made great strides this season and is deserving of the call after not originally being selected. “It’s very exciting, I’ve got lots of family and friends here supporting me and it’s going to very special to play in front of them.” On top of being selected, being a product of British Columbia, Lindstrom says he’ll have plenty support from in Langley. “When I wasn’t selected initially it motivated me to just keep working hard and to work on the little things that can make me a better all around player.”
