OHA Alumni Strong in Rangers Camp

Luke Walker, a former Okanagan Hockey Academy sniper, is having a strong showing in his first NHL training camp with the New York Rangers. The 6’2” Walker currently suits up for the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League. Last season with the Winter Hawks, Luke notched 29 goals and added 23 assists through 71 games.

At the annual Traverse City Prospect Tournament, Luke helped lead the Rangers prospects over the Detroit Red Wings prospects by scoring twice and adding an assist in the 4-3 win. Through 3 games in the tournament, Luke has picked up a total of 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 games.

“Luke has worked extremely hard this past season and summer. He is a committed athlete that has made tremendous strides over the past few years. We wish him continued success in his goal of reaching the National Hockey League.” Alan Kerr, Vice President Hockey Operations
