The Victoria, BC native has played all of his hockey on Vancouver Island, suiting up for the South Island Royals of the BC Major Midget League during the 2015/16 season where he posted 17 goals and 31 points in 40 games played before joining the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) and Shawnigan Lake ahead of playing for the Grizzlies full time in 2018.

The Vees would like to welcome Lach and his family to the South Okanagan and the Vees organization.
