Penticton, BC: The Penticton Vees Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club is excited to announce they have received a commitment from 2000-born forward Henri Schreifels for the 2018-19 season.
Schreifels, from Agoura Hills, California, currently plays for the Anaheim Jr. Ducks in the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League Under-18 and has recorded 25 goals and 27 assists in 32 games so far this season. His 52 points leads the league in scoring.
Schreifels and his Ducks teammates were in Penticton at the beginning of training camp to skate with the Vees for a week. The Ducks’ coaching staff features a former Vee as T.J. Miller is a assistant coach on the team. Miller played the 05-06 season in Penticton, being named the BCHL’s Interior Division defenceman of the year.
The 6’-forward is a dual citizen and of Swiss decent on his mothers side.
