VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Canada) -- Incoming freshmen goaltender Logan Neaton (Brighton, Mich.) and forward Andre Lee (Karlstad, Sweden) of the UMass Lowell Hockey team were selected in the final day of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday afternoon at Rogers Arena, the NHL home of the Vancouver Canucks.

Neaton (6'2", 181 lbs) was drafted with the 144th pick in the fifth round by the Winnipeg Jets. He played last season for the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). Neaton totaled a 32-8-0 record in 47 contests for the Spruce Kings to go along with a 1.92 GAA, a .914 save percentage and five shutouts. In 17 playoff games for Prince George, he amassed a 16-1-0 record with an impressive 1.46 GAA, .940 save percentage and two shutouts.

"It's such an honor to be drafted by the Winnipeg Jets," said Neaton. "Thank you to my friends, family, teammates and coaches for all their support along the way. I am excited for what the future holds."

Lee (6'5", 205 lbs) was selected by the Los Angeles Kings with the 188th choice in the seventh round. He played for the Sioux Falls Stampede in the United States Hockey League (USHL) during the 2018-19 season. He registered 35 points (20g,15a) in 61 regular-season games for the Stampede last year. He also posted 11 points (6g,5a) in 12 playoff games with Sioux Falls.

"I'm so happy to be a part of Kings organization," said Lee. "A big dream comes true and I couldn't have done it alone. Thanks for all the support on the way, especially my family."

"We are thrilled that both Logan and Andre were drafted by Winnipeg and Los Angeles, respectively," said UMass Lowell Head Coach Norm Bazin. "Both worked extremely hard last season and we're glad the NHL scouts recognized those efforts. Both are excited and realize that this is simply the start of the work ahead. Both will attend their respective development camps in the coming days."

The 2019-20 River Hawks roster will feature four NHL draft picks, which also includes senior goalie Tyler Wall (NYR) and sophomore defenseman Seth Barton (DET). Eight River Hawks who have played for Bazin have also played in the NHL. That list includes Kevin Boyle, Christian Folin, Joe Gambardella, Connor Hellebuyck, Michael Kapla, Chad Ruhwedel, C.J. Smith and Scott Wilson.
