Last season David Turkstra helped the VIU Mariners win a CCAA national gold medal on their home turf.
During the regular season he was simply a wall in goal. In the 12 games he played in he tallied seven shutouts and allowed just eight goals in the 1,080 minutes in net.
In the national final Turkstra pitched another shutout when his Mariners beat the Douglas Royals 1-0 to win gold for the first time since 2010.
Turkstra is attending VIU for the Bachelor of Science program and majoring in biology. He’s a PACWEST Best In Class.
