Surrey, BC – The Surrey Eagles are proud to announce forward Alec Saretzky has committed to the team for the 2020-21 B.C Hockey League season. The 18 year old forward is another weapon for Cam Keith’s group as he continues to gear the team up for next season. Saretzky is the 3rd new player the team has announced this season, following Matt Connor and Holden Cardinal.
Saretzky, a Saskatoon native, has been playing this year with the Saskatoon Blazers of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. On the year, Saretzky has 17 goals, 21 assists for 38 points in 34 games. Saretzky was eligible to play in the SMHL due to his early 2002 birthday, which gives him another 3 years of junior eligibility after this season.
Saretzky was blunt when asked about what type of player he’s going to be. “I’m a combination of a playmaker and a goalscorer.” When asked why he chose to play for Surrey, his answer was pretty clear. “I thought of it as the best fit for me, and the best path for my development.”
Cam Keith grabbed another player which fits the culture him and Brad Tobin have constructed this year. “[Saretzky] fits the mold. Unselfish, character kid, likes to make plays for his teammates but what really attracted us to Alec is that he can score goals. We’re lacking a pure goalscorer and he brings pretty much everything. He’s comfortable playing down low on the powerplay, plays net front, but he has the ability to make plays in tight areas.”
Welcome to the flock Alec!
