A forward whose team advanced to Hockey Canada’s 2025 Centennial Cup (annual Junior A national championship tournament) has signed with Powell River Kings of the BC Hockey League (BCHL).
19-year-old Tyler Dahms comes to the Kings after winning a Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) championship in his rookie season with Northern Manitoba Blizzard. Now set to take the next step, Dahms is looking forward to the new opportunity.
“I am very excited to come to Powell River, because of the great things I’ve heard about the program and the way coach [Stephen] Seeger [Jr.] runs the program,” stated Dahms. “I also feel it will be key for my development to play in a place with great expectations.”
In 34 regular season games with the Blizzard, Dahms scored 14 goals and helped set up 10 others. In 16 games played during the MJHL postseason, he scored three goals and added 12 assists to help his team win the title. His 15 points were tied for the most in the league.
Then, at the Centennial Cup, Dahms collected four points in five games. Northern Manitoba lost in the quarterfinals of the 10-team tournament (won by Calgary Canucks).
“Tyler brings speed, deception and compete everywhere he goes on the ice,” stated Seeger Jr. “We believe Tyler will be exciting for fans to watch. He likes to score and make plays, and will do so with a lot of pace.”
Dahms, who is from Omaha, Nebraska, wants to make a mark on and off the ice in Powell River.
“I want to better myself as a player on the ice and in the community,” stated Dahms. “I would love to make a great impact for the team and use my abilities to help the team win.”
Due to its status as an independent league, separate from Hockey Canada, the BCHL champion does not compete for the Centennial Cup.
