After two seasons at the U18 level, GM Rob Sklaruk is looking forwards to Sandilands development with the Saints, “Scott is someone who is responsible in all three zones of the ice,” commented Sklaruk, “We are looking forward to having him work with Bram and the rest of our coaching staff in developing into a strong junior hockey player.”
“I chose the BCHL because it’s one of the top junior leagues for developing talent, building character and opening doors to bigger opportunities,” mentioned Sandilands, “When I first came into contact with the Saints organization, I knew it would be an amazing opportunity for my development not just as a player but also as a person.”
