Penticton Vees rookie Cody DePourcq has just secured his hockey future with the University of Denver Pioneers.
The Vees made the announcement today regarding the 16-year-old. DePourcq joins Beau Bennett and Joey Laleggia who currently play for the Pioneers.
“The Pioneers are getting one of the most courageous players I've ever
coached,” said Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson. “I have had the pleasure of being involved with the development of Cody Depourcq over the past few seasons. Cody started as an AP player in his 15-year-old season and is now contributing to our strong start as one of the most exciting 16-year-olds in the BCHL.”
The Penticton native has scored three goals and has 11 points in 23 games. Check the Penticton Western New’s Friday edition for more.
