Merritt, BC (August 14, 2018) – The Merritt Centennials are proud to announce the signing of ’99 defenseman Jaydon Fetter.
A native of Windsor, Ontario, Fetter played the last two seasons for the Leamington Flyers of the GOJHL. Along with being an Assistant Captain and being named to the GOJHL’s West All Star Team, last season with the Flyers was Fetter’s most prolific at the Junior ‘A’ level tallying 10 goals and 21 assists for 31 points over 45 games. In 2016-17, he recorded 7 goals and 18 assists for 25 points.
Head Coach and General Manager Joe Martin doesn’t expect there to be much of an adjustment period for Fetter.
“The Merritt Centennials are excited to have Jaydon and his family join us here. He’s got two years of experience in the GOJHL, he was a leader, he was on the All Star Team, so even though he’s technically a rookie in our league, we consider this like trading for an experienced player. We expect him to come in and be ready to slide into our defensive group pretty seamlessly.”
The signing of Fetter is the first of the offseason for the Merritt Centennials.
