Press Release sent to the World of Junior Hockey
PENTICTON,
BC – The Penticton Vees Jr. ‘A’ Hockey Club is
pleased to announce forward Cam Amantea (94) has committed to the University of
Alaska-Anchorage. Amantea is the third Vees to commit to the Seawolves this
season and will be joining current teammates Anthony Conti and Olivier Mantha in
Anchorage.
President, General Manager and Head Coach
Fred Harbinson, “Cam is the consummate team guy; versatile and willing to play
any role asked. That character he brings to the Vees will no doubt make UAA a
better program.”
The 19 year-old Amantea is in his second
season with the Vees after graduating from the Edge School for Athletes in
Calgary, Alberta. Amantea has played in eight games this season, picking up
three goals and seven points, and was on pace for a fifty-point season before
being side-lined with an upper-body injury. Last season Amantea appeared in 52
games, collecting seven goals and 19 points while primarily playing a checking
roll. Amantea has blossomed into one of the best defensive forwards in the BCHL
playing alongside Travis Blanleil and Cody DePourcq. The three, known as the “trench
line” match up against the opposition’s top forwards on a nightly basis.
The Alaska-Anchorage hockey program was
founded in1979 and the Seawolves have been a member of the Western Collegiate
Hockey Association since 1993. The Seawolves are off to a solid start under
first year Head Coach Matt Thomas. Thomas, who served had served as a General
Manager and Head Coach for the past nine years in the ECHL, guided the
Seawolves to wins over Quinnipiac (3-1) and Air Force (4-2), in the opening
weekend of college hockey.
