Introducing your Assistant Captains for the 2012/13 season!

Thursday, 6 September 2012

Expected to provide leadership on and off the ice, get the boys pump up in the dressing room and a ear to lend to the rookies. Your Grizzlies Assistant Captains for the 2012/13 season backing up Captain Zach Urban are:

# 16 - Brett Hartskamp: A 20 year old vet and a tireless worker. Brett, is a forward who will show his leadership on the ice, create chances, battle for the puck and run the engine room for the Grizzlies this season.

#24 - DJ Jones: A 20 yr old in his third BCHL season, the native of Plymouth Minn, will add his RBC Cup winning experience to the Grizzlies defence. Jones, a smaller D-man who plays bigger than his size, will add leadership and confidence to the Grizzlies roster this season.

#20 - Turner Lawson: An 18 yr old, who was acquired in the Sean Robertson trade and in preseason was a spark plug forward that hit anything that moved in an opposition jersey. A power forward style player, who should elevate his game to the next level in his second full year in the BCHL.
