The Cowichan Valley Capitals have acquired 2002-born goaltender Will Gurski from the Winnipeg Freeze of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League for future considerations.

Gurski, who’s from Duncan, BC, had an 0-3-0 record with a 4.16 goals-against-average and a .903 save percentage in four games with the Freeze this past season.

He made his Western Hockey League debut in 2019-20, playing a pair of games for the Winnipeg Ice and finishing with a 1-1 record, a 4.50 goals-against-average, and an .839 save percentage.

As a rookie with the then-Winnipeg Blues that same season, Gurski posted a 5-9-1 record, a 4.74 goals-against-average, and an .874 save percentage in 18 MJHL games.

The 18-year-old is an alumnus of Shawnigan Lake School of the Canadian Sport School Hockey League.
