At six-foot five inches, it was hard to miss former Merritt Centennials defenceman Kevin Lohan (left) on or off the ice when he played here for one season in 2012-13.
Somehow, we did manage to miss the 21-year-old native of Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. in our story last week about past and present Cents players attending NHL development camps this summer.
Lohan was in camp with the Washington Capitals earlier this month. Unfortunately, his performance on the ice was at times overshadowed by his family tree, as he is the younger cousin of controversial actress Lindsay Lohan (right).
“We’re family, but I usually don’t say much about it,” the hockey-playing Lohan told media at the Caps camp. “To be honest, I haven’t seen her in a while. We used to be close when we were younger. Everyone went their separate ways.”
A stay-at-home defenceman, Lohan played 59 games for the Centennials, scoring five goals and adding 18 assists for 23 points. At the end of the season, he won the Joe Tennant Award as the team’s most dedicated player.
Lohan has spent the last two seasons at the University of Michigan, playing for the Wolverines. In 37 games last year, he scored two goals to go along with eight assists.
