WEST KELOWNA, B.C. – The West Kelowna Warriors Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club is pleased to announce the addition of F Holden Kodak (‘01) to the team’s roster after his release from the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League (WHL).
Kodak, 18, spent the 2018-19 campaign with the Kootenay Ice (WHL) where he tallied three goals and seven assists. Kodak was recently dealt to the Prince George Cougars earlier this year where he’s played seven games. “I’m super excited to be joining the Warriors and being a part of history in West Kelowna”, stated Kodak. “I can’t wait to get in the lineup and help the Warriors in the stretch run towards the playoffs”.
“We look forward to adding Holden and his ability to create offense for us”, stated Warriors Head Coach and General Manager Brandon West. “Holden was a player highly sought after in his midget prep days and I’ve always been excited about his natural abilities. Holden is a versatile player that can play any forward position and will help us immediately.”
Prior to his Western League experience, the Cloverdale, BC native scored 52 goals and added 40 assists for 92 points in only 36 games in the 2017-18 season with the Yale Hockey Academy Prep Team(CSSHL).
