Thompson Rivers University WolfPack

The WolfPack begins another BC Intercollegiate Hockey League season with a lot of new faces. There are only 10 players who helped Thompson Rivers to a third place finish in the BCIHL in 2012-13 back for the start of this campaign.

Four of them are on the blue line including second year players: Blake Moynes (Burlington, ON) Ben Bula (Kamloops, BC) and Scott Bollefer (Lake Lenore, SK) along with third year forward Travis Herlein (Calgary, AB) who is being converted to defense.

Up front: Jake Howardson (Pitt Meadows, BC), ), Anthony Delong (Castlegar, BC).Josh MacDonald (Calgary, AB) along with Duncan Schulz and Tyler Jackson ( both Kamloops, BC) will be expected to produce more offense.

General Manager Chris Hans and head coach Don Schulz did a lot of recruiting in the Pacific International Junior Hockey, Kootenay International Junior Hockey and BC Hockey League, and feel they have improved the team at every position.

They also received two transfers from BCIHL champion Selkirk College, Stephen Wolff (Logan Lake, BC) and Brodie Gibbon (Parksville, BC).

Wolff will be one of three new faces in the TRU goal this year along with Mark Menicucci(Surrey, BC) and Chris Solecki (Burns Lake, BC). Menicucci backstopped the Aldergrove Kodiaks (PJHL) last season while Solecki played with the KIJHL Fernie Ghost riders.

Menicucci is one of three WolfPack recruits moving to the Interior from Aldergrove. The others are Daniel Higgs (Langley, BC) and Ryan Veillet . The ‘Pack also has two players who were teammates with the PJHL Delta Hawks: Ryan Cuthbert (Richmond, BC) and Alex Martin (Cloverdale, BC) .

And they have two former Nelson Maple Leafs (KIJHL) in Cameron Weir (New Westminster,BC) and Colton Schell (New Westminster, BC).

Former BC Hockey League players now wearing the orange, black and white of Thompson Rivers are Sean Maktaak (Penticton BC-Merritt Centennials), Richard Vanderhoek (Langley,BC-Cowichan Capitals), Tyler Berkholtz (Penticton, BC-Trail Smoke Eaters) and Silvan Harper (Coquitlam, BC-Merritt Centennials).

Schulz will have Kevin Johnston back as his primary assistant coach this season along with former captain Andrew Fisher. Steve Blundell has moved upstairs to assume the role of Assistant General Manager.
