Nanaimo Clippers have traded 1999 born Thomas Samuelsen to the Victoria Grizzlies

The Nanaimo Clippers have traded 1999 born Thomas Samuelsen to the Victoria Grizzlies in exchange for future considerations.

“This was one of the hardest moves I have had to make since joining the Clippers’ organization.” commented Darren Naylor, General Manager and Head Coach of the Nanaimo Clippers “Thomas is an incredible young man with a work ethic like none other.  Unfortunately, with Hansen-Bukata coming off the IR, we had too many 20 year old players and we had to make a move.”

Samuelsen was entering his second season with the Clippers as a key part of the team and was also an Assistant Captain. His defensive plays ranks near the top of the BCHL where he was a key part of the top ranked Penalty Killing unit in the league.
