Zemmer Junior High student, Braydin Walters, chosen for U.S./Canadian hockey team

Braydin Walters, a Zemmer Junior High School student, was recently selected to play on the Border City Bandits, a blended U.S. and Canadian hockey team. The team consists of players from Ontario and Michigan and will compete in elite AAA tournaments over the next three years during the spring and summer.

Scouts from the team identified Braydin and scouted him for a year before contacting his parents, Kevin and Candi Walters. Kevin Walters is principal at Lapeer West High School.

Braydin was recently named Most Valuable Player of the 2009 Bantam Spring Showcase Tournament in Port Huron.

Last season, Braydin scored 50 goals and had 28 assists (78 points) in 41 games.

“Braydin has been very blessed to be offered these opportunities at such a young age,” said Kevin Walters. “Candi and I are truly proud of him.”
