Ashton is the 19-year-old brother of former Mustang Aidyn Hutchinson, who helped lead the club to an SJHL championship this past season.
The hope is that Ashton, like his brother, who also came to Melfort for his 19-year-old campaign from a team in Alberta, will spend two years in the northeast and flourish.
The five-foot-nine, 165-pound native of St. Albert, Alta. played with his hometown U18 AAA Raiders, prior to the jump to Junior A, where he accumulated 47 points (26 goals and 21 assists) in just 54 games, over a two-season span.
A 2005-born forward, Hutchinson won’t be readily available to don the Blue and Green when the Stangs clash with the Melville Millionaires this weekend, for a home-and-home matchup, as he is not set to arrive until Sunday.
