“We are so happy to add Duncan to our defense and locker room next season,” he said. “There aren’t many defensemen in his age group with a higher ceiling in terms of potential.
“We are looking forward to helping Duncan continue his development on both sides of the puck prior to him moving on to Vermont.”
When choosing Chilliwack as his next step, Ramsay said it was the Chiefs coaching and their focus on developing strong student-athletes that was the deciding factor.
“Chilliwack’s commitment to player development along with their winning ways are what really made the decision for me,” said Ramsay. “Their experience behind the bench and commitment to excellence is the reason why the program has garnered so much respect and attracted players like myself to the team.”
