Achievements (sport and/or academically): Full time honour student. Munn Cup MVP. The Pas best forwards in peewee. 2016 MB Bantam Showcase MVP.
What are your hockey goals for the future? I would like to play my junior years in Canada and hopefully go professional after that.
RHA Nationals Head Coach Brad Purdie on Evan: He has been outstanding for us. He brings energy every shift, can play in all situations and is a quiet leader. He has the respect of his teammates and coaches and has a very bright future. He is a pleasure to have on our team. He is an outstanding student and even better person.
