Heard Luke Pakulak is coming back, if so it's starting to get crowded in the dressing room.
ReplyDeleteLuke will only be 18 years old this coming season. I expect him to really be a dominating player in Langley. When he was a 16 year old in Vernon, he was they youngest guy on the team and even as a 17 year old, he was still trying to learn how his body works. I think at 18 he's going to have it figured out and moving back to the lower mainland won't hurt either.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the Vipers play Langley only once this season and it's in Langley on October 6.
Aston “looking for a new opportunity”, reading between the lines, “get me outta here”.
ReplyDeleteWill Luke Ashton report to Langley? Ashton was recently drafted by the United States Hockey League Sioux City Musketeers.
ReplyDeleteOwen Kim's player profile says he has committed to College of the Holy Cross for the 2023-24 season.
Will Copeland Fricker report to Langley? Fricker played last season with the North American Hockey League Lone Star Brahmas.
Ethan Merner, Dylan Compton, Max Borovinskiy, Thomas Tien & Luke Ashton are out. Will we see anymore players from last season traded or leave?
