The Penticton Vees hope the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
The BCHL club has signed 20-year-old goaltender Anthony Brodeur, son of hall of fame shoo-in Martin Brodeur.
The younger Brodeur, a seventh round draft choice of the New Jersey Devils in 2013, has spent the past two seasons with Drummondville and Gatineau in the Quebec Major Junior League.
He also won a U-18 national championship with the powerhouse Shattuck St. Mary’s program.
The opening for Brodeur, who is coming off development camp with the Devils, was made possible when Hunter Miska left the club earlier in the week.
“While we were disappointed by Hunter’s decision to leave us so late in the off-season, I’m a big believer that everything happens for a reason,” said Vees president, general manager and head coach Fred Harbinson.
“We received a ton of calls from people around the hockey world, including USHL goalies ready to make the jump to us. We are very excited that Anthony chose to finish his junior career as a Vee.”
“We believe Anthony and returning goaltender Brendan Barry will provide us with a tremendous tandem for the upcoming season,” said Harbinson. “Barry returns after helping the Vees win the Wally Forslund Memorial Trophy as the BCHL’s best goaltending duo, which we have now won three consecutive years.”
Brodeur and the Vees open training camp Aug. 24 at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
