The Winkler Flyers are very excited to announce that the club has signed local Kam Thomas (2006) from right here in Winkler!
Thomas played the 2022-23 season with the Pembina Valley Hawks in the Manitoba U18 AAA League, where he scored 16 goals and 21 assists for 37 points in 44 games. He will join the Orange and Black for the 2024-25 season.
“I choose to sign with the Flyers because of the great opportunity that they give players and from being from Winker it’s a cool place to be.” Thomas spoke about why he chose to sign with the Flyers. “I hope to develop as a player over the next couple of years and I believe Winkler is great place to do that”
General Manager and Head Coach Justin Falk and the coaching staff believe Thomas will play a big role for the Orange and Black, “Kam has continued to take strides in his development the last couple seasons. His work ethic and character continue to be his foundation that will allow him to grow into a culture piece for the Flyers next season.” Welcome Kam and the Thomas family to the Orange and Black!
“I am most exited to be apart of this team and play in front of a great city. It’s really cool to be a part of the flyers as I grew up coming to all the games.” Thomas explained how exciting this is for him and his family “It’s especially awesome because my dad had played here in the past and had a great career here. I would like to follow in his footsteps in the next couple of seasons!”
The Winkler Flyers want to send a warm welcome to Kam Thomas, and the entire Thomas clan. We can’t wait to have you guys around the rink!
