New 91原创 91原创 head coach and general manager Burt Henderson is promising a fast-paced brand of hockey when the team returns to the ice.

鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be entertaining,鈥� Henderson told the 91原创 Advance Times.

Henderson, whose appointment was announced on May 26, said he likes to see 鈥渓ots of movement鈥� on the ice, favouring the style of play deployed by the Colorado Avalanche.

Now preparing for the 2021-22 BCHL season, Henderson is looking forward to a lifting of COVID-19 restrictions following a year where 91原创 players were loaned to other squads to play in a limited 鈥減od鈥� season that wrapped up without playoffs.

It meant the league鈥檚 championship trophy, the Fred Page Cup, was not be awarded in 2021 and traditional league awards will not be handed out either.

Trappers sat out the PJHL season, too, which ended up being cancelled after a handful of games.

鈥淚 think everybody鈥檚 just getting ready to get back to normal,鈥� Henderson commented.

He previously served with the 91原创 as their skills coach in 2017-18.

The first player to sign with Henderson was new forward 2003-born Dylan Fader, announced by the team on Sunday, May 30.

Fader promised fans can expect 鈥渁 relentless forechecking and defensive zone player who can create plays for my teammates.

From Vancouver, Fader spent the last four seasons with St. George鈥檚 School academy team.

His last season was abbreviated due to COVID-19, which resulted in Fader suiting up in just two games.

In the 2019-20 season, he appeared in 36 games for St. George鈥檚 School, scoring nine times and adding 10 assists.

The 91原创 91原创 are excited to announce the commitment of 2003 born forward Dylan Fader for the 2021-21 season!
