Ortio is ranked #4

4. Joni Ortio, 18, TPS (A Juniors), Calgary
6th round, 171st overall, 2009
The second of three Finnish goalies picked in the 2009 draft, Ortio is another prospect working under the tutelage of Ylonen – playing for both the TPS A juniors and Turku’s Mestis club, TuTo – as well as making his SM-Liiga debut in three games this season.
Ortio, a sixth-round selection of the Calgary Flames, made a name for himself at the 2009 U-18 World Championships – leading the Finns to an improbable run including a come-from-behind, shootout win over Canada in the bronze medal game.

In addition to his experience in Finland, Ortio has gotten quite a bit of exposure in North America – both last year in Fargo and this past winter as the starter for Team Finland at the U-20 World Championships in Saskatchewan. There is a good chance that he will return to Western Canada next season – playing for Swift Current, who own his CHL rights.
