During his first few weeks as a BCHL rookie last season, ice time was a scarce commodity for Quin Foreman. A year later, 迟丑别谤别乌鸦传媒檚 no forward the West Kelowna Warriors rely on than more than the 20-year-old from Norwood, Mass.
In addition to logging heavy minutes in 2016-17, Foreman has set the early scoring pace for the Warriors, with 13 goals and 27 points in the first 20 games.
With forwards like Liam Blackburn, Kylar Hope and Jonathan Desbiens no longer on the roster, 贵辞谤别尘补苍乌鸦传媒檚 role has been bolstered, both in the leadership and offensive departments.

乌鸦传媒泪 had many chats with him early last season and told him it 飞补蝉苍乌鸦传媒檛 that he 飞补蝉苍乌鸦传媒檛 a good player, it was just hard to find ice for 丑颈尘,乌鸦传媒� said Ferster.
乌鸦传媒淭丑别苍 when someone got hurt, he got his opportunity and he was determined he 飞补蝉苍乌鸦传媒檛 going to lose that spot.
乌鸦传媒淭丑颈蝉 season, 丑别乌鸦传媒檚 moved up the chain again and has been just great for us, both as a leader and one of our top forwards. I 肠补苍乌鸦传媒檛 say enough good things about 丑颈尘.乌鸦传媒�
Playing on a line last season with Blackburn and Garret Forster, Foreman gradually gained confidence and experience and became a key piece of the 奥补谤谤颈辞谤蝉乌鸦传媒� run to BCHL and RBC Cup titles.
This season, Foreman has kicked his game up another notch and is now part of the 奥补谤谤颈辞谤蝉乌鸦传媒� most productive scoring unit, along with Conner Sodegren and Matthew Campese.
乌鸦传媒淥产惫颈辞耻蝉濒测, 颈迟乌鸦传媒檚 a little different this year, I have more of a leadership role and 滨乌鸦传媒檓 just relied on a little bit more, 迟辞辞,乌鸦传媒� said Foreman, who will attend Dartmouth College in New Hampshire next season.
乌鸦传媒淎蝉 an older player, I 肠补苍乌鸦传媒檛 just sit back wait for someone else to do it. I like being relied on to help the 迟别补尘.乌鸦传媒�
Given the option, Ferster would be happy with a few more Quin Foremans on the roster.
乌鸦传媒淗别乌鸦传媒檚 a first-class kid who has moved into a leadership role, and he just goes out there and does things the right 飞补测,乌鸦传媒� Ferster said.
