| Organizational Comments: Wings GM Ken Holland: |
| What GRC says: Fall 2009: Coetzee, a teammate of the Wings first pick in 2009 Landon Ferraro, was invited to camp as a tryout. The 18 yr old didn't disappoint and bucked the odds to earn a three-year entry level contract with Detroit. He still has a couple more years of junior left before trying his luck at the pro level. |
