WEST KELOWNA B.C. – The West Kelowna Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club are excited to announce the commitment of forward Kailus Green (‘04) for the 2022-23 season.
The Kelowna native led the Okanagan Rockets U18 team in scoring this past season with 17 goals and 16 assists in 29 games. “We are very excited for Kailus to officially join the Warriors family,” said Warriors General Manager & Head Coach Simon Ferguson. “Kailus is a player we followed for a couple seasons. He was the Captain and leading scorer for the Okanagan Rockets this season and impressed us with his play as an affiliate this season. Kailus plays the game with speed & energy and has an edge that fans will love.”
Kailus Green played 4 regular season games and 2 playoff games with the Warriors as an affiliate player. “It feels great to be a part of the team. I spent some time around the team in the post-season and it’s been awesome to get a feel for the organization and how effectively things are run. I’m super excited to work with Simon and the rest of the staff to see what we can accomplish” said Green. “The fans can expect a high energy two-way player that works hard and plays with intensity. I like to use my body to disrupt plays and a combination of my speed, IQ, and shot to create offensive chances.”
Green joins multiple new recruits for next season including defenceman Nolan Joyce and forwards Ben MacDonald, Jaiden Moriello and Felix Caron.
The Warriors travel to Boston next month for the Boston Development Camp. Spots are filling up quickly. Visit westkelownawarriors.ca to register.
