We have signed Matthew Seminoff to at three-year entry-level contract!
It’s been a fantastic post-draft season for the Vancouver-raised Seminoff, who has 31 goals and 51 assists in 62 games.
One tenth of those 82 points came in a single game, a four goal and four assist effort in an 11-1 win over Victory in mid-March, which earned him CHL First Star of the Week honours.
Seminoff has amassed 170 points in 196 career WHL games with Kamloops and has the chance to turn pro in the fall.
