WENATCHEE, Wash. –
The Wenatchee Wild, proud members of the British Columbia Hockey League, have
announced that Nathan Deyell has signed, as the team prepares for its first season
in the BCHL.
Deyell is a 6’3”, 200 pound defenseman from Vancouver, British
Columbia, who played for the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior
Hockey League the past two seasons, netting 3 goals, 10 assists and 46 penalty
minutes in 81 games. He has also spent time with Dauphin of the Manitoba Junior
Hockey League and has BCHL experience with Nanaimo, Penticton and Cowichan
Valley.
According to Wenatchee Wild Head Coach/General Manager Bliss
Littler, “Nathan has a lot of experience to go with a 6’3” frame. He skates
well for a big guy and will be looked at for some veteran leadership on the
point.”
“I’m excited for the opportunity to be part of the Wild for
their inaugural BCHL season” said Deyell. “Wenatchee is going to become the
place to play Junior A Hockey and I am happy to be able to spend my final year
of junior eligibility here.”
The Wenatchee Wild open the BCHL regular season with a pair
of games at the Prince George Spruce Kings on September 11th and 12th.
The home opener will be on October 10th against the Coquitlam
Express. Season tickets for all 28 home games are available at the Wild office
in the Town Toyota Center, or by calling 509-888-7825.
