The four year BCHL veteran is in the midst of a career season with 17 goals and 14 assists, tied for team lead in points with 31.
“It’s a very exciting time in my life right now. This is something I’ve worked so hard at to achieve over the last 3 years and to have my dream finally come true is really an incredible feeling,” says Latta. The West Vancouver product says that family, friend and the Vipers have kept him driven through the ups and downs.
