Former North Bay Battalion forward Vincent Praplan was all over the internet and was named the "Highlight of the Night" by TSN on Saturday after he scored an amazing goal with the Kloten Flyers HV71 in Champions Hockey League action in Switzerland.  

Praplan made a nifty spin move to receive a pass on the left wing, then he drove to the net, flipped a pass to himself in the slot, then picked up the puck and went backhand on the goaltender to finish off the incredible goal.  

In 61 games last season with the Battalion, Praplan netted 19 goals and added 34 assists for 53 points in his only season in the Ontario Hockey League.  

Praplan also represented Switzerland last year at the World Junior Hockey Championships.
