The Cowichan Valley Capitals have traded 2001-born defenseman Logan Rands to the Virden Oil Capitals of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.

The deal completes future considerations from the Feb. 22 trade that saw the Portage la Prairie, MB product added to the BCHL’s Capitals.

Rands finished the BC Hockey League pod season with a goal and six points in 20 games for Cowichan Valley. He also had one goal and eight points in eight games with Virden to begin the 2020-21 season.

Rands is a three-year junior A veteran, scoring five goals and 46 assists in 114 games in the MJHL on top of his BCHL totals. He’s also added one assist in six MJHL playoff games.
