Victoria hosts Langley on Saturday and Sunday
There are familial interconnections in sports that just seem natural. Jacksenn Hungle of the Victoria Grizzlies continues a family tradition in the B.C. Hockey League. Dad Casey Hungle played four seasons in the 1990s for the Nanaimo Clippers before an eight-season minor-pro career that took him through the ECHL, CHL and WCHL from the Erie Panthers and Tallahassee Tiger Sharks to the Tupelo T-Rex and Fort Worth Brahmas.
The younger Hungle’s journey continues tonight and Sunday with back-to-back games between the Grizzlies and Langley Rivermen at the Q Centre. Not that it has been a straight line. Jacksenn Hungle went from the Racquet Club to U-15 at the Yale Hockey Academy in Abbotsford before landing as a BCHL rookie in Merritt with the Centennials.
Grizzlies head coach and GM Rylan Ferster, who returned to Victoria last season after having been away from Island hockey for a while, didn’t know much about Hungle. But Hungle was well known to Grizzlies assistant coaches and Island coaching fixtures Suneil Karod and Geoff Grimwood, who watched him develop in youth play, and they lobbied hard for the trade.
These connections mean a lot to him. Including in his taste in music, which was influenced by his dad Casey: “I’m into 1980s heavy metal, especially Mötley Crüe.”“We have all the tools in place to do something special this season,” said Hungle.
