The Merritt Centennials are pleased to announce the acquisition of three talented players to bolster their roster. The team added 19-year-old left defenseman Tait Ross, who is committed to Dartmouth University and hails from Coquitlam, BC. Joining him are 20-year-old center Ray Hamlin, committed to Mercyhurst University, from Windsor, ON, and 20-year-old left winger Blake Setter, from Calgary, AB. These players join the team from the Coquitlam Express in exchange for 19-year-old right winger Jackson Krill, who hails from Port Moody, BC.
“With a trade of this magnitude, we felt we got 3 players that add significant depth to our lineup,” says Coach Brian Passmore. “They have a great deal of Jr. A playing experience and can produce. We feel today we have upgraded our team again as these players bring maturity and leadership qualities. We would like to give a warm welcome to Tait, Ray and Blake and would like to thank Jackson for his time in Merritt.”
The Centennials would like to also acknowledge the departure of Jackson Krill, a beloved member of the team. Jackson’s presence and contributions will be sorely missed. We express our heartfelt appreciation for his dedication and wish him continued success in his future endeavors.
