Ethan Werek (born June 7, 1991) is a Canadian ice hockey player who is currently playing for the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Hockey League. He was selected by the New York Rangers in the 2nd round (47th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft with the compensatory pick that the Rangers received after the death of Alexei Cherepanov.
Werek was the first-round pick of the Frontenacs in the 2007 OHL Priority Selection. Initially, he told the team that he would not report, opting instead to keep his NCAA eligibility as he had verbally committed to playing for Boston University. After a successful season of tier II hockey with the Stouffville Spirit of the OPJHL, in which he was the league rookie of the year, Werek finally decided to sign with the Frontenacs in September of 2008.
On May 8, 2011, Werek was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes in return for Oscar Lindberg.[1]
