A former Revelstoke Grizzly defenceman is headed to Detroit to be part of the Red Wings’ development camp.
Jackson DeSouza was a defenceman for the Grizzlies in 2018 and 2019. While playing with the Grizzlies, DeSouza was part of a division-winning roster that was second in the league. Since leaving Revelstoke, DeSouza moved to Kelowna, where he’s been playing with the Kelowna Rockets as a right-defenceman.

Last season, the six-foot-four Colorado native played 66 games for the Rockets, with six goals and 14 assists to his name.
The camp will run from today (July 1) to Wednesday (July 5), and will take place inside the Little Caesars Arena at the Belfor training centre. DeSouza is one of 15 defencemen invited to the camp and will be up against Detroit’s recent draft picks.
