Former Seafair Minor Hockey standout Jordan Sandhu will be heading to Port Alberni for the next chapter of his career.
The 16-year-old forward has signed with the B.C. Hockey League’s Alberni Valley Bulldogs for the upcoming 2015-16 campaign in what he hopes will be a path towards earning an NCAA Division One Scholarship.
Sandhu spent this past season in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Greater Vancouver Canadians where he managed 27 points in 36 games.
He was selected by the Kelowna Rockets in the fourth round of last year’s WHL Bantam Draft but has opted to keep his collegiate options open.
He played one game last season with the Bulldogs as an affiliate.
“When I got the chance to play for the Bulldogs last season, the coaching staff and players were welcoming and the atmosphere of the fans was awesome,” said Sandhu. “It made for a pretty easy decision.”
He also played for Team B.C. at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George back in February where he managed four points in six games.
Sandhu's older brother Tyler has played the past three seasons in the Western Hockey League, most recently for the Tri-Cities Americans.
