Centennials add Slovenian Defenseman Maks Percic from Vernon Vipers

MERRITT — The Merritt Centennials have acquired defenceman Maks Percic and future considerations from the Vernon Vipers in exchange for the BCHL Playing Rights to forward Diego Johnson. Johnson elected to move on from the Merritt Centennials after last season.

The Slovenian product Percic had one goal and seven assists in 23 games played.

Percic is a big bodied defenseman that has a plethora of International playing experience. He will fit in with the larger sized defensemen of the Centennials and help with the mounting injury situation that often arises at the midpoint of the season. 

Here is Maks Percic’s decorated career so far, which has seen him play with many organizations as a 2004 born player. 

He has played in Slovenia, Germany, Finland, Canada and is committed to playing in the United States.

Percic is also an NCAA commit, as he will play with Michigan Tech once his time in the BCHL comes to an end.

He joins Michael Felsing, Dylan Lariviere, Tyler Wishart, Sawyer Prokopetz, and Keirnan Poulin for Merritt Centennials with a scholarship.

Brian Passmore has mentioned that the more committments the team gets the better chances the Centennials have of recruiting players in the future.
