Silverbacks Acquire Boilard bothers in trade with Alberni Valley

Salmon Arm, BC – The Salmon Arm Silverbacks have announced that they have traded D Owen Desilets (04′) along with future considerations to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in exchange for F Raoul Boilard (06′), and F Jules Boilard (04′)

Both Jules, and Raoul are committed to play NCAA Division I hockey with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. In 23 games this season, Raoul has scored 6 times, while adding 8 assists for 14 points. While Jules has scored 1, and added 3 assists for 4 points in 22 games played.

Silverbacks General Manager, Brooks Christensen said the timing was right  to make the trade.
“We felt it was a good opportunity to acquire both Jules & Raoul. Tyler & I got to watch them at the Telus Cup in the 21/22 season and believe they’re players that can come in to contribute to our roster now as well as next season.”

Christensen added that it is never easy to move on from a dedicated player.
“This was not an easy decision for us to make as a staff. We’d like to thank Owen for his dedication to our program and community. We wish him the best of luck with the Bulldogs and at Dartmouth College next season.”
