The West 麻豆精选 Warriors Junior 鈥楢鈥� Hockey Club has been making waves of late, acquiring a number of high-end talented players to bolster their lineup for the 2020/21 season.
On. Aug. 30, the club announced the commitment of forward Wyllum Deveaux (鈥�00) for the 2020/21 season. The commitment comes with the news that NCAA Ivy League will not be running their hockey programs in 2020/21.

On Aug. 29, the club announced the commitments of forwards Riley Sharun (鈥�03) and Brennan Nelson (鈥�03).
Sharun, 17, brings layers of offence and grittiness to the Warriors lineup. The 6鈥�0鈥�, 165-pound forward spent two seasons playing for the Okanagan Rockets of the BC Major Midget League (BCMML), registering 25 goals and 50 points in 57 games.
Sharun is also no stranger to the BC Hockey League, playing in one game with the Warriors as an affiliate player throughout the 2019/20 season and held his own with some crucial shot blocks leading to a Warriors win.
