The Surrey Eagles are proud to announce the team has named forward Hudson Schandor the captain for the remainder of the 2019-20 season. The 19 year old forward was already an assistant captain, and has been one of the Eagles best forwards through this BCHL campaign, with 8 goals and 6 assists in 17 games.
The news comes after the trade of former captain Cody Schiavon. Schandor, one of the favourites in the room, is excited about the opportunity which lies ahead. “I’m super excited, and it’s super humbling. I’m really thankful for my teammates for trusting me and believing in me. I’m really excited to lead the boys moving forward.” Schandor also knows it’s a huge responsibility and is excited to help lead this team through their early season struggles. “Obviously, there’s a lot of responsibilities as a captain. We’re really going to lean on our assistant captains and some of the younger guys moving forward. I’m not going to change too much, I’m going to keep doing what I was doing, it’s just a little heavier left shoulder now.”
Cam Keith was happy to name Schandor the captain, and explains the decision in another quick interview with Surreyeagles.ca. “He was selected by his peers. We had a vote to help take the team in a new direction, and it was unanimous. The only vote that wasn’t for Schandor was himself because of how selfless he is.”
Hudson Schandor and the Eagles are getting set to face the Coquitlam Express tonight, tickets are available at https://www.surreyeagles.ca/single-game-tickets. They’ll continue their season after tonight on Sunday, October 27th against the Chilliwack Chiefs.
