BRANTFORD ‑ For the last four seasons, Cameron Sault has been a stalwart for Peter Ham’s Brantford Blast Sr. AAA hockey franchise, creating excitement with every shift. He will be joined this year by Hagersville Hawks grad, Dakota Powless of Six Nations’ and minor-pro journeyman Jason Hill who be joining Sault with the Blast for the 2015-2016 Allan Cup Hockey season.
General Manager and President Peter Ham is high on both of the new acquisitions and is more than pleased that Sault has returned.
“Cam is one of the premier players in this league,” says Ham. “This will be his fourth season with us and I am very pleased that he is back with us again this year.”
Dakota Powless is a big defenseman who plays a very physical game. At 6’2” and 230 lbs., when he hits you, you know you’ve been hit.
“Dakota comes very highly recommended by Derek Medeiros,” says Ham. “His younger brother Dan played with him in Hagersville and had nothing but positive things to say about him.”
Ham obviously agreed with the evaluation and signed him to the 2015-2016 season.
Jason Hill is a veteran pro player who toured the minor pro circuit over the past few seasons, mainly in the USA. Hill, now 31-years of age, lives in Niagara Falls New York but is from Six Nations originally. In his last year of pro, 2012-13, Hill scored 39 goals and 66 assists for 105 points in 51 games with a remarkable +40 in the plus/minus column.
The Blast open the new season at the Brantford and District Civic Centre, Oct. 30th when the Dundas Real McCoys come to town.
