Max Lajoie is an Ottawa Senator.

The top defenceman for the Swift Current Broncos last season had his name called by Ottawa in the 5th round of the NHL draft, 133rd overall. 

"Great pick for Ottawa," said former Broncos Coach/GM Mark Lamb. "A steal in the 5th round."

Lajoie had 8 goals and 29 assists in 62 games as a sophomore for the Broncos last season.

22 of his points came in his last 29 games.

"Max is a good skater, puck-mover and has a good head on his shoulders," said Ottawa amateur scout George Fargher.

Lajoie joins former Bronco Zack Smith in the Senators organization.
