Rockafellow gone for the season, Taylor Pears in!!!!!

Garrett Rockafellow

A bit of a shocker to add to the Westshore clubs growing disabled list for the short handed Grizzlies. Starting goalie, Garrett Rockafellow has been sidelined for the reminder of the season with a torn meniscus. This is far from ideal timing for both the Grizzlies and Rockafellow who had started to put a consistent run of games and performances together.
Rockafellow, who has done his best to adjust to the Junior A game, after a stellar 2010/11 season with the KIJHL's, Revelstoke Grizzlies. The 18 yr old, should be proud of what he's accomplished in a difficult season for this team and I'm sure he will build on this season and be in contention for a starting job with Victoria for 2012/13 season.
Great effort this season Garrett and we look forward to seeing you next season. Thank you.

Now enter Taylor Pears. Pears, should be familiar to most Island BCHL fans with stops in Cowichan, Powell River and Quesnel. After leaving the BCHL, Pears went to play for the Junior B, Cyclone Taylor Cup host for last season, the Fernie Ghostriders.
This season and in his last year of Junior eligibility, Pears has been attending UVIC and has played 10 games for UVIC Vikes of the BCIHL
20 yr old Pears, who is from Cobble Hill will be sharing the duties with recently carded Nick Taylor.
As Pears has some BCHL experinace, I'm he'll be thrown in at the deepend for this upcoming 3 games road swing this weekend. Welcome to the Grizzlies Taylor.
