Hailed as one of the best forwards in the BCHL, Marcus Vela is a versatile centerman with a physical side to his game. He excels at two key aspects of the center position: he knows how to direct players and set up plays, and is responsible defensively.
1. Described as a “power center,” Vela is the type of player who has the skill to put the puck in the net but doesn’t shy away from the rough stuff. In the 2014-15 season, he scored 20 goals and 26 assists with the Langley Rivermen while also racking up 57 PIMs.
