From Cougar to Viper to Capital.
Brett Fudger remains on the move as the Prince George hockey product was part of a trade deal this month in the BCHL and will begin his next venture on Vancouver Island.
The 18-year-old is joining the Cowichan Valley Capitals following his junior ‘A’ debut campaign with Vernon, recording 12 assists and 14 points in 48 games.
A season prior, Fudger led the Cariboo Cougars with 25 helpers, part of 40 regular-season points, plus a team-high five playoff goals en route to the program’s third BC U-18 AAA title.
Altogether, the Prince Rupert product accumulated a career record of 57 points in 77 games with Cariboo.
In his return to Prince George on Nov. 13, 2019, Fudger provided an assist in the Vipers' 2-1 victory over the Spruce Kings.
Last season, the Capitals finished second in the BCHL’s Island Division with a record of 35-16-5-2, one point behind first-place Victoria.
The team also eliminated the Powell River Kings in the first round of the playoffs, but did not meet the Grizzlies in the second round as COVID-19 forced the ultimate cancellation.
The BCHL is set to open the 2020-21 season on Dec. 1 with or without fans.
