Reid/Kehler/Ferner Audio

Salmon Arm Silverbacks forward Brad Reid was acquired from the Coquitlam Express on Decemeber 14th for future considerations. The 1990 born right handed shot has played in three games with his new team and at least a point in each one for a total of four altogether. With Coquitlam the Delta resident collected 14 goals and 31 points in 33 contests. The 6'1" 175 pounder is in his fourth year in the BCHL after a year with the Express in Burnaby, one with the Vees in Penticton, and his rookie campaign in Victoria with the Grizzlies. Last season the Rochester Institute of Technology commit had a breakout year with 27 goals and 55 points in 60 games after a total of 28 points in his first two seasons in the league.

Brad has fit in nicely on one of the Silverbacks top lines alongside Dave Killip and Brett Knowles.

In his first season at the helm Vernon finished fourth in the Interior Conference at 36-20-2-2 and lost out in the Conference Semi-Finals to the eventual BCHL champion Penticton Vees.
