The kid brother of ex-Chilliwack Chief Matt Butcher is joining the BCHL’s Langley Rivermen. Langley announced the signing of 17-year-old Ben Butcher Wednesday.
The Bellingham (Washington) native spent last season with Kelowna’s Pursuit of Excellence U-18 program where he put up eight goals and 14 assists in 42 games.
Butcher stands six-foot-two and weighs 190 pounds, and his father is former Vancouver Canucks defenceman Garth Butcher.
