Venom HC AAA 19U Signs Kamloops Forward Cole Dulaba

The Venom HC AAA 19U program is proud to announce the signing of forward Cole Dulaba from Kamloops, British Columbia, for the 2026-27 season.

Standing at 6'0" and 185 pounds, Dulaba brings the size, physicality, and compete level that every team covets. A true power forward, he plays the game with an edge, finishes every check, and has the hockey IQ to consistently make the right play with the puck. Whether he's creating offense, winning battles along the boards, or opening up space for his linemates, Cole has proven he can impact the game in all three zones.

The Venom coaching staff first got a closer look at Dulaba during this past weekend's ID Camp, where he quickly became one of the standout performers. His combination of strength, vision, and relentless work ethic turned heads throughout the weekend. Cole showcased his offensive instincts by setting up multiple scoring opportunities while also contributing goals of his own, demonstrating the complete power-forward package.

Last season with the Kamloops U18 AA program, Dulaba recorded 6 goals and 5 assists in 14 games, while adding 38 penalty minutes, a reflection of the physical, hard-nosed style he brings every night. Beyond the scoresheet, he served as an Alternate Captain, earning the respect of both his teammates and coaches through his leadership, accountability, and commitment to team success.

"We're excited to welcome Cole to the Venom family. He's a player who competes every shift, plays a heavy game, and has the vision to create offense for everyone around him. His leadership experience and team-first mentality will be a tremendous addition as we continue building a strong culture and locker room," said Head Coach, GM & President, Brady Douglas.

The entire Venom organization is thrilled to welcome Cole and his family and looks forward to watching him continue his development while playing a key role in the team's success this season.

Welcome to the Venom, Cole!
