| Kyler Eckess is part of a strong WolfPack bench looking for more time on the court as the 2016-17 season moves ahead into January |
Kyler Eckess has been getting some spot duty through the first half of the season for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, with Eckess part of a deep bench that has been inserted into play over the course of the first ten games of the 2016-17 campaign
Eckess and fellow Northwest baller Trent Monkman of Smithers are part of a good mix of veterans, returning players and newcomers to the WolfPack, a group who are starting to gel on the court nicely as they stake a claim to eighth place in the Competitive Canada West conference.
With a fairly set starting five, the Prince Rupert sophomore has to be ready for any instance and opportunity that comes along.
The WolfPack program is one of hard work through the pace of practices and off court training sessions, making ready for the moment to grab some time on the court when the tap on the shoulder comes from the coaching staff on game days.
