The Surrey Eagles have acquired Riley Hayles from the Powell River Kings in exchange for future considerations. Hayles is expected to join the team immediately, but will not be in the lineup for the home opener on Friday night.
Hayles, 20, is a defenceman from Delta, BC, who has spent the last two seasons playing for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. In 95 games with Salmon Arm, he has scored 8 goals and added 31 assists while racking up 44 penalty minutes.
In a subsequent trade, the Eagles have also sent Jordan Robert to the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for future considerations. Robert served as the team’s captain for the last season and a half. The organization would like to thank Jordan for his dedication and commitment to the team during his time in Surrey. He possesses excellent leadership skills, which will benefit his new team greatly.
The 2018-19 season officially kicks off on September 7th (Friday night) at South Surrey Arena, as the Eagles take on the visiting Coquitlam Express. Tickets are now available!
