Grizzlies alumnus and local hometown hero, Cole Pickup, reflects on his time spent with the Victoria Grizzlies Junior Hockey team of the BCHL.
Cole Pickup played 5 seasons for the Grizzlies, and earned himself a Division 1 NCAA hockey scholarship with the University of Nebraska Omaha for four seasons, beginning in the 2017/18 season. Cole worked extremely hard to get himself to the NCAA level; and was a Grizzlies fan favourite without question.
It was Cole’s relentless desire to win hockey games that attracted the Mavericks. Cole is a player that matches talent with a persistent ‘never give up’ work ethic.
As much of a positive impact Cole has made for the Grizzlies on the ice, he carried that work ethic into the community as well. Cole put in countless hours, representing the Grizzlies, working with youth and charities in our city and has worked hard to give back to the communities he grew up in.
