Surrey, BC - The Surrey Eagles Hockey Club announced on Monday that
the team has acquired forwards Jonah Renouf ('94), Nathan Renouf ('94),
Patrick Chore ('93) and Eric Chore ('93) from the Oakville Blades of the
Ontario Junior Hockey League in exchange for goaltender Glenn Ferguson
('94), the playing rights to Devon Toews ('94), Michael Santaguida ('93)
and Michael Stenerson ('93) and future considerations.
"We've lost some forwards from last year's team to NCAA schools, so
we're excited to be acquiring some great skill guys who have put up
great numbers in Ontario," said Eagles President, General Manager and
Head Coach Peter Schaefer. "We hope they'll help out our power play as
well, and we're very excited to have these young men join our
organization."
The Renouf brothers hail from Mississauga, Ontario. Jonah finished
second in OJHL scoring in the 2012-2013 season with 29 goals and 65
assists in 53 games while Nathan was sixth in league scoring, tallying
21 goals and 56 assists in 54 games. In the playoffs, the Renoufs
combined for 11 points in six games as the Blades were eliminated by the
North York Rangers in the first round. Both brothers have committed to
attend Quinnipiac University for the 2014-2015 season.
The Chores are Kelowna natives who will return to their home province
to play for the Eagles. Both brothers spent time with the North Okanagan
Knights of the KIJHL for parts of two seasons from 2010-2012 and both
had stints in the BCHL before heading to Ontario to start the 2012-2013
season. Patrick played 37 games for the Prince George Spruce Kings in
2011-2012 while Eric has suited up in 10 BCHL games split between the
Spruce Kings and the Vernon Vipers.
Ferguson heads to Ontario after appearing in nine games for the Birds
in the 2012-2013 season, posting a record of 4-5-0. While their playing
rights have been transferred, Stenerson, Toews and Santaguida have all
completed their junior careers and will be starting at NCAA schools in
the fall.
The Eagles would like to welcome Jonah, Nathan, Patrick and Eric to
the organization while wishing Glenn the best of luck in his future
endeavours.
