The Victoria Shamrocks have acquired a former BCJALL first-round pick from their Island rivals.

He held a three PPG average, scoring six goals and 12 assists on 22 per cent shooting in the process.  He was a former BCJALL first round draft pick.

Vaesen is a player with a proven track record at the Intermediate level. He was with Victoria in Intermediate, winning a provincial gold and being named Tournament MVP in the process. The Cowichan Valley product already has 12 goals, 18 points and 44 shots playing at the University of Montevallo in Alabama.
