The 18-year-old defenseman out of Nanaimo, British Columbia, has spent the last two seasons skating in the Western Hockey League for the Prince George Cougars. In his most recent campaign, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound blueliner registered six points (one goal, five assists) and added 86 penalty minutes in 39 contests.
