Last season as a first-year BCHLer, Aidan Pelino split duties with David Jacobsen in the Chilliwack Chiefs crease but still showed enough to earn a spot on the BCHL all-rookie team.
This season, handling the bulk of the goalie assignments in Chilliwack, Pelino has shown enough for Bentley University to offer him a scholarship to play for them starting next season.
Pelino, a native of Oakville, Ont. has built a record of 15-8-1 with a .920 save percentage, a 2.28 goal-against average and two shutouts this season.
Bentley plays in the NCAA’s Div. I Atlantic Hockey Association and competes against schools such as Robert Morris, RIT, Air Force and Holy Cross. The Falcons have recruited heavily from the BCHL in recent seasons. Their are seven BCHL graduates on their current roster in TJ Dumonceaux, Jayson Argue, Cody DePourcq, Andrew Gladiuk, Max French, Andy Chugg and Tyler Krause.
