Wenatchee, WA. --
The Wenatchee
Wild, preparing for their first season as
members of the British Columbia Hockey League, are pleased to announce
the return of Ben Baker for his second season with the team.
Baker, from Rancho Soma Margarit, California is a right-handed
shooting defenseman, who is 6’1”, 185 pounds. He’s 18 years old and played 26
games for the Wild last season, tallying 2 assists and 2 penalty minutes. He
appeared in 5 playoff games.
Wild Head Coach/General Manager Bliss Littler said that “Ben
is a big defenseman that skates well. Look for Ben to turn into a very steady
defenseman for us this year.”
About returning to the Wild, Baker says that “I am ecstatic
about returning to Wenatchee next season because it is one of the best places
to play junior hockey and a privilege to play for the coaching staff here. I am
looking forward to the move to the BCHL as well; I feel this is a great move
for our organization. The level of excitement within the fan base and the
community is extremely high. Can’t wait to get back with fellow returning
players and the new group that is coming in.”
The Wild will open the regular season September 11th
and 12th, with a pair of road games against the Prince George Spruce
Kings. The team’s first home game at the Town Toyota Center will be Saturday,
October 10th, against the Coquitlam Express. Season seats for all 28
home games are available through the Wild office, or by calling 509-888-7825.
