“When I first got into Trail and saw the facilities and the way the town rallies behind the team I knew it was a place I wanted to play. I’m super excited to work with the coaching staff and my teammates in the upcoming season” – Johnsen
The Smoke Eaters would like to welcome Cam and the entire Johnsen family to the Smoke Eaters organization and the City of Trail. We look forward to seeing Johnsen in a Smoke Eaters jersey come next season!
