The best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series between Victoria and Vancouver opens Friday night at Langley Events Centre, in a rematch of last year’s first-round set that Victoria won…
This year’s Vancouver Giants were always going to be judged on how deep they went in the Western Hockey League playoffs.
Vancouver Canucks’ GM Jim Benning attended a pair of Giants games against the Thunderbirds. The buzz around the Giants of late has been that Byram, a 6-1, 192-pound left-handed shot, could be gone in the first five selections, so he may be off the board by the time Benning gets to pick. A Coquitlam product who turned 20 in January and was a third-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2017, Walford missed Victoria’s entire playoffs last spring with a shoulder injury that eventually required surgery.
He was named the WHL McSweeney’s player of the month for March after producing five goals and 19 assists in 14 games last month. That included one goal and nine assists in the six post-season meetings with Seattle, which left him tied with Jake Leschyshyn of the Lethbridge Hurricanes for the league playoff scoring lead at the end of the Round 1.
