Cranbrook, B.C. – The Kootenay ICE Hockey Club is pleased to announce the signing of 2001-born forward Cody Shepheard.

The Qualicum Beach, B.C. native was selected in the eighth round by the ICE in 2016.

Shepheard – listed at six feet and 166-pounds – recorded 17 goals and 34 points in 28 regular season games with Shawnigan Lake School Varsity of the CSSVHL during the 2016-17 season. He also registered two points in two playoff games.

“Cody had a good camp, he brings size, compete and skill in a group of forwards that we are excited about looking ahead,” said Matt Cockell, President and General Manager. “We look forward to supporting his development this year and think he will contribute to what we believe is a strong group of 2001 born players moving forward.”
