A Tsawwassen hockey player will be taking his talents to Robert Morris University.
Just before Christmas the West Kelowna Warriors of the BCHL announced that forward Trent Wilson has committed to Robert Morris University.
Wilson, 19, is in his first season with the Warriors and has posted nine goals and eight assists for 17 points in his 32 games including 11 points in the last 14 games played this season. Wilson has compiled 115 games played in the league, splitting time between the Warriors and Surrey Eagles, amassing 23 goals and 50 points in that span.
“I’m very excited to commit to Robert Morris university and be a Colonial,” Wilson said, “It’s always been a goal of mine to play Division I hockey and after learning about their program, I thought it would be a good fit for me. Thanks to the West Kelowna Warriors organization and everyone else who has supported me along the way.”
“We are so excited for Trent, since coming to the Warriors this year he has put his head down and worked,” commented Warriors General Manager and Head Coach Simon Ferguson, “He takes care of the small details and has ability to impact the scoreboard. It is another great example of BC Born and raised players earning opportunity at the NCAA level.”
Wilson will join a Robert Morris program that has returned to the NCAA Division I ranks, and plays out of the Atlantic Hockey Conference and Moon Township, Pennsylvania. The Colonials are manned by Derek Schooley and have three BCHL alums on their team, including Mitch Andres (Vernon Vipers/Chilliwack Chiefs), Michael Craig (Nanaimo Clippers) and Michael Sochan (Surrey Eagles).
