History
View video of Karl Alzner (courtesy of the NHL)
2006-07: A member of Team WHL for the Canada/Russia Challenge, Alzner looked solid as a puck carrier and was able to slow down the play in the defending zone to buy time for the breakout to develop. At the WJC, the 6'2, 210-pound blueliner played sparingly as the tournament progressed, although he looks to be a mainstay on the squad for next year. With the Hitmen winning a pair off playoff series before being eliminated by the Medicine Hat Tigers, Alzner gained valuable post-season experience.
Signed with Washington in May of 2008.
Talent Analysis
Alzner made an early season impression across the WHL with his mobility and offensive production.
