The Selkirk College Men’s Ice Hockey program is pleased to announce a commitment from defenceman Sandro Moser (Banff, AB) to join the Saints for the 2011/12 British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League season.
Moser joins the Saints' blueline following a two-year junior career in the KIJHL, where he split 89 games between the Golden Rockets and Kimberley Dynamiters. The 19-year old brings an offensive touch, having finished the 2010/11 season with 29 points -- and nine in just 11 games following a trade deadline move to Kimberley. His career Junior B totals include 10 goals and 40 points along with 54 penalty minutes.
“Sandro adds a mobile, puck-moving presence on defence and potentially a piece on one of our power-play units,” says Selkirk College athletics director Kim Verigin. “We're pleased that he chose Selkirk College as the next step in his academic and athletic careers, and we believe he has all the tools to develop into an excellent defenceman in the BCIHL.”
Moser will be reunited with a former teammate on the Saints roster, as he played in front of Spenser Wong during the goaltender's All-Star campaign in 2009/10 with the Golden Rockets.
"I'm very excited to join the Selkirk College Saints men's hockey program," says Moser. "It's always been a dream of mine to acquire an education while playing a high level of hockey. I'm looking forward to a great year full of challenges, rewards, and a lot of hard work. I can't wait!"
Moser represents the Saints' second commitment this offseason, joining Kelowna Chiefs forward Jordan Wood.
