Head Coach Colin Birkas spoke highly of the newest addition to the Clippers lineup. “Jesse is a skilled player who plays with an edge,” said Birkas. “He’s a mature, responsible forward who competes hard in all three zones and fits the mold of the player we want in Nanaimo. Coming from the OHL and committed to LSSU, he brings experience, pace, and a strong compete level that will elevate our group.”

When asked what he will bring to the team Venturo said “I’m a strong two-way player who takes pride in contributing in all areas of the game. I use my speed and skill to create opportunities while playing smart in the defensive zone. I’ll bring a strong work ethic, compete hard every game, and do whatever I can to support my teammates and help the team succeed.”

Welcome Aboard, Jesse
