Gm Mark Bomersback had this to say about the signing. ” Looking back and seeing how Chayse Laurie and Alec Hall stepped in here last year and the job they did, not only on the ice but in the community was just a huge positive all around. In having the opportunity to sign Tyler and Harry to bring that same value on and off the ice was an easy decision for us. Both players are great character individuals and tremendous human beings. They are solid young hockey players that want an opportunity to develop and play junior hockey in hopes to get to the next level. With Tyler, fans can expect a very good, mobile defenceman that can move pucks , has a great skill set to create offence and plays with a high compete. With Harry, fans can expect a high end skilled forward , a player who is extremely smart and has great compete as well. They’re going to fit in nicely with the guys we have coming back and the other young guys we have signed . As an organization, we are very excited to add both of these players”
