One of the top scorers on Prince George’s top major midget hockey club this past season is moving up into the Junior ‘A’ ranks.

Cariboo Cougars’ graduating player Brett Fudger has signed with the Vernon Vipers to start his B.C. Hockey League (BCHL) career in the Fall for the 2019-20 season.

The 17-year-old skated for the Major Midget Cats for two seasons that included two trips to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League (BCMML) Finals and winning the 2018-19 title back in April.

Fudger was the team’s assists leader in the 2018-19 regular season with 25, adding 15 goals for a total of 40 points in 39 games.

He added six more points in the playoffs en route to the 2019 championships, which included five goals.

Altogether, the Prince Rupert product accumulated a career record of 57 points in 77 games with Cariboo.

The Vernon Vipers lost to the Prince George Spruce Kings in the BCHL Fred Page Cup Finals after finishing fourth in the Interior Division in the 2018-19 season.

Fudger was third on his team for points. And lead them in penalty minutes, too. Sounds like a leader.

I like the sounds of this kid. I like his size and the fact it sounds like he can put up some pretty good numbers/points. He's only 17 yrs old but will have the chance to grow, mature and get use to the big change with now playing Junior hockey. I wonder if Jason McKee will keep all of Mark Ferner's recruits? It will also be interesting to see who the new coach brings back from last year's roster. Welcome to Vernon Brett!
