Player Commitment – Jared Winkel
The Oceanside Generals are excited to announce that they have committed to Forward Jared Winkel for the 2017/2018 VIJHL Season. At 5’9 and 170 pounds Jared is a solid lad that is tough to play against. He is well known for being a player that plays whistle to whistle and sometimes a bit extra. Think Brad Marchant and you get the picture. Jared spent last season with the BCMML North Island Silvertips and is from just down the road in Lantzville BC. Welcome to the club Jared!
