The Westside Warriors are proud to announce Goaltender Tyler Briggs (’92) as the first acquisition of the blockbuster deal that sent veteran defensemen Izaak Berglund (Merrimack ’12) and Michael King (Colorado College ’12) to the Lloydminster Bobcats (AJHL) on January 10th, 2012.
Briggs had a sizzling 2011-12 campaign pacing the Bobcats with a 20-2-5 record that included: a .914 save percentage, a 1.98 GAA, and 4 shutouts.
The Sherwood Park, Alberta native also led Canada West to a Gold Medal at the World Junior “A” Challenge this past year.
“Adding a goalie like Tyler will bring stability to a position that we struggled with last year until the arrival of Dwayne Rodrigue,” says Warriors Head Coach/GM Rylan Ferster.
“I have personally watched Tyler since Midget. Not only has he been a top goalie at every level, but he also has Gold Medal to his name that he won last year at WJAC. Tyler is the first part of the blockbuster deal we made with Lloyd on January 10th.”
Tyler will arrive in West Kelowna in time for Summer Camp in late August.
