Before playing the 2018/19 season with the Eagles, Sherlock played for the Columbia Valley Rockies and on the KIJHL champion Kimberley Dynamiters.With an Eagles jersey on his back, Sherlock was credited with 13 goals and 10 assists.

Wesley Howerton, who played forward for the Sicamous Eagles in the 2016/17 season, will be taking to the ice across the Atlantic.

The 24-year-old Surrey native recently inked a contract with the Virserums SGF hockey club. Visersum is a town of just over 1,700 people located in southeastern Sweden.
