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 August Von Ungern-Sternberg to the team for his second season.
Von Ungern-Sternberg is an 18 year old, left-handed shooting
forward, hailing from Eagle, Idaho. He’s 5’10” and weighs 168 lbs. Last season
with the Wild, Von Ungern-Sternberg scored 10 goals, 7 assists and added 17
penalty minutes in 28 games. In last season’s playoffs, Von Ungern-Sternberg had
2 goals, 2 assists and 4 penalty minutes. He also saw time with Lincoln in the
USHL last season. He is a recruit of NCAA Division One Brown University and is
expected to be there in the fall of 2016.
“August came a long ways last season” said Wenatchee Wild
Head Coach/General Manager Bliss Littler. “With his foot speed and offensive
ability, August is set up for a big year.”
Von Ungern-Sternberg is thrilled to be returning to
Wenatchee. “I could not be happier coming back to Wenatchee” he said. “I had
other opportunities but I could not pass up another year playing for Coaches
Littler and Clark, the Wenatchee Wild organization and the best fans in junior
hockey. I am both excited and optimistic about Wenatchee’s debut season in the
BCHL.”
The Wild will be holding tryout camp July 16th-19th
in The Community Rink at the Town Toyota Center, which will be free and open to
the public. The regular season opens 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.
