One Grizzlies item to catch up on to add to the recent excitement is, the recent signing of 15 year old standout from the Major Midget League, South Island Thunderbirds is Victoria native, Mitch Meek.
Local boy Meek, is 5'10'' defender and really turned some heads in his first season with the T'birds which included a couple of games as an AP with the Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The transition of a 15 year old player(16 by the time the season starts), can be done in the BCHL despite the leap in competing against older, bigger players and just the overall standard of Junior A. Nolan DeJong for example, has just come off an impressive rookie season as a 16 year old who is also a former T'bird.
To wet the appetite of Grizzlies fans, Meek represented B.C at the WCCC U16 tournament, a terrific accomplishment for Mitch and a clear indication of the talent this young defender has.
Here are Meek's stats from his 2011/12 season with the South Island Thunderbirds.
