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 Tyler Rockwell for his second season with the team.
Rockwell, a left-handed shooting defenseman, is from San
Jose, California. He is 5’8”, 175 pounds and 19 years old and played 55 games
for the Wild last season, scoring 5 goals, adding 20 assists and 14 penalty
minutes. He appeared in 5 playoff games.
Wild Head Coach/General Manager Bliss Littler said that “Tyler
played in all situations of defense last year. He will be counted on for some
experience on the backend. Tyler likes to get up the ice and join the rush.
Could turn into a very good offensive defenseman this year for us.”
Rockwell says “I’m looking forward to returning this season
to a town that is so passionate about hockey. The fans who support us all
season truly makes this the best place to play junior hockey. I cannot wait to
see the returners and the new teammates who are joining the Wild family. With
the team moving to the BCHL, it is an exciting time to be a part of this great
organization.
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.
