The Alberni Valley Bulldogs regret to announce that 93 D Jared Crossan is leaving hockey for a short while to rehabilitate a reoccurring injury to his knee.
Immediately upon joining the Bulldogs this season, everyone felt the strong leadership and character that Crossan brought to the team. The players internally voted Crossan the team's "rookie captain" and he would always go above-and-beyond to ensure he was prepared for upcoming games.
"The Bulldogs organization, fans, players, and community would like to wish Jared all the best with his decision that he made. For him I'm sure it was not an easy one," said Bulldogs head coach Kevin Willison. "The Bulldogs would like to thank Jared for all he has done in the community and on the ice in the short period of time that he was here in the Valley," remarked Willison.
In 13 games, Crossan contributed with 1 goal and 3 assists. His one goal was the game winner against Nanaimo on October 12th.
Jared will be missed around the rink and in the community. The Alberni Valley Bulldogs family wishes Jared all the best with his rehabilitation and all future endeavours.
