History

The Medicine Hat Tigers selected Jordan Bendfeld in the fourth round of the 2003 WHL Bantam Draft. He played for the Leduc Oil Kings program before joining the Tigers for the second half of the 2004-05 season. He returned to Medicine Hat for the 2005-06 season, which was also his first full season in the WHL.

2006-07: Playing on a very talented and cohesive Medicine Hat team for the season, Benfeld received  quality minutes and continued to progress at a good clip for this year. His primary role as a defensive-defenseman has not changed as other blueliners such as Kris Russell  (CBJ) and David Schlemko and been the primary defensive distributors this year for the Tigers. Bendfeld's point total increased slightly this past season, but that has come as a result of playing on one of the two top scoring teams in the WHL. 

Talent Analysis

Bendfeld is a big, rugged, defensive-defenseman.

Future

Bendfeld is headed back to the Tigers for the 2007-08 season.
