Ghostrider signs with Div. 3 college

Fernie Ghostriders forward Lucas de la Salle has signed with the Anna Maria College AMCATS for this fall.

He was traded to the Ghostriders part way through the season and tallied six points in 20 games.

“I’m excited to move on to the next stage of my life and looking forward to continuing my hockey career at Anna Maria,” he said.

De la Salle had started his KIJHL career with the Columbia Valley Rockies.

He says he made significant improvements with his decision-making this season.

“I also gained confidence with the puck and trusting my play-making abilities,” he said.

“I believe playing with a great organization in Fernie gave me the support I needed to show my abilities and develop as a person. My teammates helped push me to become the player I am today.”

When he first started with the Rockies he had an excellent rookie year putting up 39 points in 43 games.
