The Surrey Eagles Hockey Club has announced the addition of Landon Fuller to the team’s active roster. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound defenceman played 25 games earlier this season with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and 1 game with Tri-City Americans of the WHL. He will be in the lineup for the Eagles’ next game, Thursday night at home against the Wenatchee Wild.
Fuller spent the previous season with the Sicamous Eagles of the KIJHL, where he posted 2 goals, 5 assists, and 105 penalty minutes in 44 games. The 17-year-old was born in 100 Mile House, BC, and played his minor hockey growing up in Williams Lake.
“Fuller is an intimidating force, but that’s not all,” head coach and general manager Blaine Neufeld said about the acquisition. “He’s also very sound defensively. He allows us to gain some depth on defence, which is important as we head into the playoffs.”
Fuller is now the second Eagles defenceman that has spent part of the season with the Tri-City Americans, joining teammate and fellow defenceman Colten Gerlib once again.
The BCHL trading deadline is quickly approaching, coming up on January 10th. Check SurreyEagles.ca for all of the latest roster information.
