Victoria hosts Surrey on Friday night
The big Victoria Grizzlies forward was “decommitted” by Boston-based Northeastern late last summer, but it didn’t take long for the 6-foot-4 St. John’s, Nfld., product to land with another NCAA school — and Ivy League at that.
He’ll also have a familiar face in Big Red colours as teammate Chase Pirtle is also committed to Ithaca, New York-based Cornell.Hiscock, like the rest of his Grizzlies teammates, got off to a fast start this season going 5-1, but have hit a speedbump with three straight losses. The 20-year-old Hiscock is tied for the team lead in goals with teammate Drew Hockley with seven in 10 games.
“They have a lot of new faces but are obviously still doing pretty well and in this league now any team can beat any team on any given night, so we expect them to come in here hungry for a win so we have to be ready.” Meanwhile, the injury bug has hit the Grizzlies’ forward group hard. Veterans Julian Cull and Tobias Pitka remain out with injuries, so GM and head coach Rylan Ferster went out and picked up a couple of skilled wingers on Friday, one of them a familiar face.
