Victoria wraps up preseason with win over Kamloops
Major-junior is facing challenges from other levels of North American junior hockey, but especially from the U.S. collegiate NCAA, yet it is still probably the most direct route to pro hockey.
As the 58th rated North American skater in the midway rankings for the 2022 NHL draft, Schuurman was expected to selected in the fourth-round range, but was overlooked in the draft. He skated in the Edmonton Oilers rookie summer camp as a free-agent invitee and now the Bruins have decided they want a look at the native of Abbotsford, who played for Canada in the 2022 IIHF U-18 world championship in Germany.“It’s been a roller-coaster of emotions.
The six-foot-three, 205-pound Wilson had three goals and 11 points in 51 games last season on the Victoria blue line and has stealthily gained notice among pro scouts. But he’s been no secret to Royals GM and head coach Dan Price.“He has a big frame but can skate.”
