He didn't care where and when he was drafted, he just wanted to see his named called at some point.
Swift Current Broncos forward Matt Tassone was a 6th round selection of the Dallas Stars at Saturday's NHL draft in Ottawa.
Tassone had made it his goal to be drafted this year. He admits Saturday was a tense day.
"It was like sitting on needles watching it on the computer...clicking refresh over and over again, looking at everyone getting drafted. To finally see my name there was a great relief.
Tassone was one of four Broncos selected in the draft along with Zack Smith, Geordie Wudrick and Dale Wiese. That's the most drafted Broncos in a season since 2002.
