The Nanaimo Clippers have acquired 2002-born forward Matteo Turrin from the Victoria Grizzlies for future considerations.

Turrin, who hails from Montreal, QC, had two goals and two assists in 14 games as a rookie with the Grizzlies during the 2020-21 BC Hockey League season. He scored twice in nine games with Victoria in the BCHL’s exhibition season last fall.

In 2019-20, he played 28 US Prep School games at Holderness School and posted four goals and 16 points. Turrin also had a pair of goals that season in four games with Top Gun/New England Prep 18U AAA.
