Vanderhoof, British Columbia native Brett Knowles became the second player from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks to commit to Minnesota State for the 2012-13 season.
Knowles recently wrapped up his second full-season of competition in the British Columbia Hockey League and was recognized by the Silverbacks for his work ethic, earning the Most-Dedicated Award at the year-end banquet. Knowles, a '91 birthdate, finished with 58 points (30 goals) in 57 games this season.
Listed as a 5-foot-11, 176-pound forward -- who shoots left -- Knowles had a breakout year in 2010-11. Last season, 2009-10, he tallied just 16 points in 41 games. The year prior, 2008-09, he played in a total of seven games for the Silverbacks.
Looking at Knowles' breakout season this year, he should be a good fit for the Mavericks. He can clearly score goals -- at least at the BCHL level -- and it will be nice for him to have a teammate (Bryce Gervais) making the trip to Mankato as well.
