Surrey,
BC - The Surrey Eagles Hockey Club is pleased to announce that
defenseman Austin Edwards ('95), forward Chris Seto ('97) and goaltender
Bo Didur ('97) have committed to play for the team, beginning in the
2013-2014 season.
"We're
very excited that these three players have decided to play for us next
season," said Eagles President, Head Coach and GM Peter Schaefer.
"Austin is a really good puck moving defenseman while Chris is a skilled
forward that had a great camp for us last year. Bo was very well liked
by our previous goalie Michael Santaguida and had a great record last
year as well. They're all great additions."
Edwards,
an Abbotsford native, appeared in eight regular season games and nine
playoff games with the Abbotsford Pilots of the PIJHL in the 2012-2013
season. The 18-year-old had seven points in the regular season and six
points in the post-season. Edwards has appeared in two BCHL games as
well, suiting up for the Chilliwack Chiefs in the 2011-2012 season.
"I'm
really excited," said Edwards. "I've heard that the coaching staff is
great. The Eagles have been a great team in the past, and with them
coming off a berth in the RBC Cup, it'll be exciting to go there and
play with guys who experienced that run."
Seto
spent the 2012-2013 season with the Cloverdale Colts Midget AAA team.
The 16-year-old was a third round selection of the Kelowna Rockets in
the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft. Seto, who is a Surrey native, also practiced
with the Eagles throughout last season.
"It
will be a great experience to play in the BCHL," said Seto. "I wanted
to play for the Eagles because I'm from Surrey, and practicing with the
team last year really helped me a lot with my development. I'm really
looking forward to it."
Didur,
who hails from West Vancouver, played for the Vancouver Northwest
Giants in the BC Major Midget League last year. The 16-year-old net
minder was part of the Giants squad that went to the Pacific Regional
Finals before falling to the eventual Telus Cup Champion Red Deer
Optimist Chiefs.
"I'm
really honoured to be given an opportunity to play for such a respected
team in the BCHL," said Didur. "What the team accomplished last year
was pretty amazing, and we hope to do what they did last year again this
coming season."
The Eagles would like to welcome Didur, Seto and Edwards to the organization.
