Stevenson looking forward to first WHL training camp

Stevenson won’t have to worry about that as he attempts to make the Broncos. He will also have some familiar faces with him when he arrives for his first WHL training camp. The Broncos drafted his Notre Dame teammate Van Eger (Willow Bunch) in the fourth round. He is also friends with first round pick Brady Birnie (Regina), who he was recently teammates with in the Saskfirst program. Birnie and Stevenson have both signed to play with the Regina Pat Canadians in the Saskatchewan Under-18 AAA Hockey League next season.

“He’s an outstanding player,” said Birnie. “He moves the puck so well in the D-zone for a defenseman. He’s got a super high IQ, he knows the right pass to make. He’s got a good offensive side to him. He’s got a hard shot from the point. I just think he’s an outstanding player.”

Stevenson is currently listed at 6’ and 130 pounds.

“I’m going to work on getting as strong as I can going into Midget AAA. Then making that jump from the AAA league to the Western League I’m going to have to work on the strength again and then foot speed, getting pucks up ice, the whole D-zone. Then I’m going to keep working on becoming more offensively effective.”
