• Hill recorded two shutouts in 2014-15, posting them on back-to-back days in early January against Tri-City (35 saves) and Seattle (29 saves).

• A product of the Calgary Buffalo Hockey Association, Hill played bantam with Nicholas Merkley (No. 23 NA Skater) and 2014 NHL Draft prospects Brycen Martin (selected 74th overall by BUF) and Brayden Point (selected 79th overall by TBL).

• He recalls winning the 2012 Alberta Cup, an under-16 development event, with the Calgary South Flames as his most memorable hockey moment. Martin and Point also were members of that squad.
