Whitley Warriors are delighted to welcome back versatile Canadian and fan favourite Phil Edgar, who heads into his fifth season at the club.
From Kitchener, Ontario, Edgar started out in his hometown’s junior system, icing for the Rangers’ Under 16s and Under 18s sides before progressing to play for Kitchener Dutchmen in the GOJHL in his 2009-10 campaign.
After playing for Kitchener for two further seasons, accumulating a total of 67 points in 87 league games and finishing his 2011-12 season as the side’s top points scorer, Edgar embarked on three seasons in the EOJHL with Ottawa West Golden Knights where he fulfilled the role of alternate captain in his third campaign, contributing 70 goals and a further 67 assists in 111 league games.
A move to Whitley Warriors from the University of Waterloo in 2017 then saw Edgar continue his excellent points production, with 56 points from 34 games in his first season on Tyneside. He started last season with Warriors before making the move to Leeds Knights in NIHL National but Edgar’s skill and talent will once again enhance Whitley’s options moving into their 2022-23 campaign.
Welcome back Phil!
