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.
