WHL veteran joins Vipers

Oct 15, 2019 | 11:32 AM

The Vernon Vipers have added a veteran forward from the Western Hockey League.

Twenty-year-old old Dawson Holt is a Saskatoon product who spent four seasons with the Vancouver Giants, and played eight games this season with the Regina Pats.

Vipers Coach Jason McKee has coached Holt before, while with the Giants, and says he can play in all situations.

“He’s a right-handed forward with a very high hockey IQ,” McKee said. “He’s the type of player whose game really ramps up as the season goes along.”

Holt is 5-11, 194 lbs and played 237 career games.
