He played for the Martensville U15 team in Saskatchewan last season, racking up 103 points (53 goals, 50 assists) in just 27 games, and 33 more (23 goals, 20 assists) in 11 playoff games.
“Dade is a strong forward who is a point-producing offence generator,” said Cougars’ Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds. “His intuition and drive to score when in the O-zone is exceptional, but he plays effectively on both sides of the puck and has the mindset and attitude to become a dominant two-way player. We are thrilled to get Dade signed and committed to the Cougars as he will be an important part of our future. We welcome Dade and his family to the Cougar family.”
