December 24th, 2021
WEST KELOWNA B.C. – The West Kelowna Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club are excited to announce the commitment of forward Felix Caron (‘04) for the 2022-23 season.
The Terrebonne, Quebec native currently has 13 goals and 19 assists in 25 games played with Collège Esther-Blondin Phénix (QMAAA) this season. “We are very excited for Felix to join the Warriors family”, said Warriors General Manager & Head Coach Simon Ferguson. “Felix is a dynamic player who can score, makes plays and competes at both ends of the ice.”
The 5’11, 165 pound forward considers himself ready for the BC Hockey League. “ I’m looking forward to be part of the Warriors organization. It will be my first experience in BC,” stated Caron. “I’m a player who is playing on 200 feet and I’m really involved in the game. I don’t hesitate to sacrifice myself for the team and I’m able to put the puck in the net at the good moment.”
Caron also has a long history with Warriors Felix Trudeau and his family. “I played with Felix’s brother Alexis when I was young and I became friends with Felix. He (Felix Trudeau) is a player I look up to and I would like to follow his path.”
Current Warriors forward Felix Trudeau stated that Caron brings great energy, skill and a fantastic one timer on the powerplay.
Caron is committed to RPI (NCAA). The Warriors would like to welcome Felix and his family to the City of West Kelowna and the Warriors organization.
The Warriors are back in action next Wednesday when they host the Penticton Vees. It will be a part of Retro Night for the Warriors where they honour the Westside Grizzlies. Tickets are available online at WestKelownaWarriors.ca. Remember that there will be a Westside Grizzlies alumni game at 4pm prior to the Warriors/Vees game. Admission is free with the purchase of a Warriors/Vees game ticket.
