The Kelowna Rockets announced that 20 year old, Brady Leavold has signed with the Victoria Salmon Kings for the rest of the 2008 season.
The Port Coquitlam, B.C. native was second on the Rockets in scoring this season with 69 points (27g-42a) in 67 games. He was second on the team in assists and third in plus/minus rating (+21) and power play goals (8). He led Kelowna in penalty minutes (163). In the first round of the playoffs versus the Seattle Thunderbirds Leavold led the Rockets with six goals, he also added two assists for eight points in the seven game series.
"Brady has been scouted by the Salmon Kings organization," Head Coach Mark Morrison said. "By all accounts he is a solid all-around player who forechecks well. He had an excellent playoff this year and we look forward to seeing him in a Salmon Kings jersey."
Rockets President/General Manager Bruce Hamilton states, “Obviously our relationship with the team in Victoria goes along way. Whether Brady plays with this team or with someone else, I expect him to play in the American Hockey League one day.”
The 20-year-old finished his WHL career with 199 games played, 47 goals and 73 assists for 120 points. He was assessed 390 minutes in penalties. In 13 playoff games he accrued 10 points (7g-3a) over his WHL career.
