Jake Schmaltz was actually in the middle of his graduation party when he got the call to say the Boston Bruins had picked up his NHL rights in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Double the reason to celebrate for the native of Wisconsin.
At 6’1″, he has some height on his side, but his frame is slender to say the least topping the scales at just 167lbs. Seems that Jake Schmaltz may have to hit the weight room if he wants to step up into professional hockey, that or risk being easily pushed around.
That will no doubt occur in time too, as he is following the seemingly preferred route of the Boston Bruins organisation; heading to the NCAA to work on his game and continue his studies.
