Victoria, BC – The
Victoria Royals proudly announced today that defenceman Tyler Stahl has been
named the team’s captain for the 2012-13 Western Hockey League (WHL) season.
Stahl becomes the second captain in team history and the 10th in
franchise history. Forwards Tim Traber and
Brandon Magee were named as alternate captains while Jamie Crooks and Logan
Nelson will split alternate duties throughout the season.
Stahl has spent his entire WHL career with the
Victoria Royals/Chilliwack Bruins franchise. The 6-2, 215 lb native of
Drumheller, AB has compiled 21 points (1g-20a) to go along with 395 penalty
minutes over 156 regular season games with the Royals and Bruins. The
20-year-old defenceman has also appeared in 13 career playoff games for the
franchise, notching one assist.
Stahl was drafted by the Chilliwack Bruins in the 2007
WHL Bantam Draft with the club’s fourth round, 70th overall, pick.
The veteran defenceman also saw his name called at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft
where he was taken in the sixth round, 167th overall, by the
Carolina Hurricanes.
Traber, 19, and Magee, 18, will wear ‘A’s on their
jerseys this year. Traber enters his fourth season with the Royals/Bruins
franchise and has competed in 171 regular season games, notching 25 points

franchise and has posted 84 points (41g-43a) in 143 regular season games during
his young career.
