Cents acquire defenceman Zachary Bleuler from Langley

The Merritt Centennials announced today that 19-year-old defenceman Zachary Bleuler has been acquired from the Langley Rivermen for future considerations.

“We’re really happy to add Zachary to our team as he gives us a more solid look on our back end,” said Cents GM and Head Coach Joe Martin. “Zachary arrived in Merritt yesterday and will skate today ahead of our game tonight in Penticton.”

Bleuler is a veteran of 105 career BCHL games – all with Langley. He’s posted 34 points (six goals, 28 assists) and 32 penalty minutes with the Rivermen. The West Vancouver native has also skated in ten career BCHL playoff games.

Prior to joining Langley, Bleuler played with North Van Wolf Pack of the PJHL, tallying nine points (three goals, six assists) in 13 games.
