Sahir Gill could be headed to play with the Chicago Steel of the U.S. Hockey League.
Gill, who was selected by the Steel in the fifth round (56th overall) in the 2009 USHL Entry Draft, is listed on Chicago’s online roster.
“I talked to him (Monday) night, and it was news to us,” said Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson, adding Gill told him he hasn’t come to a solid decision yet on where he’ll play. “They (Steel) haven’t contacted us with a release, but we’ll see what happens.”
Gill (5-foot-10, 180 pounds) recorded 18 goals for 39 points and four penalty minutes in 54 BCHL games, and 8-9-17 in 17 playoff appearances. The 17-year-old developed good chemistry playing on a line with twins Connor and Kellen Jones.
The Kamloops Blazers, who own Gill’s Western Hockey League rights, are also reported to be keen on bringing the Terrace product into the fold.
Gill couldn’t be reached for comment.
