Who is Aidan Lane?

Season	Team	League	GP	G	A	P
2024–25	St. Andrew’s College	U18 AAA	55	34	52	86
	Brampton Steelheads	OHL	13	7	6	13
	Green Bay Gamblers	USHL	2	0	0	0

Analyzing the pick

Ethan Wyttenbach is a right winger who played games this season for not only St. Andrew’s College but also the Brampton Steelheads of the OHL as well as the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL. Getting plenty of experience in multiple different places, the Flames are grabbing a guy who clearly is willing to work for it and has demonstrated that he can score at multiple different levels.

What’s next for Aidan Lane

Lane is currently committed to play his 2025/26 season with Harvard University. Calgary has already taken multiple players who are going to be spending next season in the NCAA, Lane will be no different. This should give him the chance to see what he is made off against some of the best players and prospects in the world. Getting drafted in the 6th rounds means he will have a long road to the NHL but starting off his journey playing for Harvard is certainly a great start.
