Goaltender Michael Botiz Acquired From Salmon Arm

The Surrey Eagles Hockey Club has announced the acquisition of goaltender Michael Botiz from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks for future considerations. Botiz will join the team immediately and will start on Thursday night against the Chilliwack Chiefs at South Surrey Arena.

The Oakville, Ontario native played in 20 games for the OJHL’s Oakville Blades last season, and was acquired by the Silverbacks this offseason. He was a member of Team East at last year’s CJHL Prospects Game, which was held at South Surrey Arena. He won co-MVP honours in that game alongside fellow goaltender Colton Point of Carleton Place.

Botiz, 18, stands at 6-foot-3 170 pounds, and will look to form a tandem with Daniel Davidson between the pipes for the Eagles. His most recent game actually came against the Eagles at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack, in the Silverbacks 8-6 victory last Sunday.

Tickets for tonight’s game are available now by contacting the Eagles at 604-531-GOAL or at the box office! Click here for pricing details.
