Jamie Hoffmann, the Carolina Hurricanes' eighth-round draft pick in June, has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers as a free agent and will play baseball instead of hockey -- shortstop instead of right wing.
Hoffmann, from New Ulm, Minn., had signed a letter of intent to attend Colorado College. A CC spokesman confirmed that Hoffmann would not enroll at the school.
Hoffmann has NHL size at 6 feet 2, 195 pounds, but was considered a project. He was also the Minnesota Class 3A baseball player of the year, but was passed over in the baseball draft.
"Usually, I just went with whatever season I was in. Now, I went with whatever offer was better," Hoffmann told the New Ulm Journal. "This is seemingly better than hockey would have been."

Whatever. :roll: Good luck kid.
