Portland, Ore. – The Portland Winterhawks Hockey Club today announced that they have reassigned goaltender Donavan Bodnar to a Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) club, to be announced at a later date.
The move brings the Winterhawks’ roster down to two active goaltenders, Dante Giannuzzi and Jan Špunar.

Bodnar has played for RINK Hockey Academy Winnipeg’s AAA program each of the last three seasons, including an impressive 2021-22 campaign where he posted a 10-6-2 record with a 3.17 goals-against-average and .912 save percentage, all while participating as an underage goaltender. He is eligible to play 10 WHL games with the Hawks as an affiliate player.
