The Detroit Red Wings have added to their organization, signing a local talent to join the organization. John Lethemon was a standout goaltender at Farmington High School, before moving on to the junior ranks. Following a stint in the USHL, Lethemon went on to play for Michigan State, having a fantastic career in the green and white.
Now, following a strong season in the ECHL for the Toledo Walleye, he has been rewarded with a one-year, $750,000 contract from the Detroit Red Wings, where he will most likely play for the Grand Rapids Griffins, and maybe some spot starts for the Red Wings down the stretch.
