Ravnoor Randhawa of the Castlegar Rebels has committed to play collegiate hockey for the Portage College Voyageurs in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference this fall.
“School has always been a big part of my life and end goal and doing it through hockey is really amazing,” said Randhawa, adding he chose Portage College, with a location in Lac La Biche, Alta., because it’s close to home and he will enter their new kinesiology program.
The Calgary native completed his third and final season with the Rebels, posting 17 points in 44 regular season games. He collected two assists in four KIJHL Teck Cup playoff games.
In his final season with the Rebels, Randhawa stepped into a leadership role, which helped him grow as a communicator and learned to problem solve.
"The Rebels organization is happy for Rav and his commitment to Portage College,” said Rebels head coach and assistant general manager Alex Evin. “He made a positive impact in the Castlegar community over his three seasons. We wish him nothing but success next season."
Randhawa played 120 career KIJHL regular season games and had 49 points, and played in another seven playoff games.
“I really enjoyed my time in the KIJHL. It was an amazing time,” said Randhawa. “Being in a tight community like Castlegar, everyone kind of knows each other. Everyone is friendly.”
