2010-11:Sunder served as an assistant captain in his third full season with Chilliwack. He scored 24 goals with 52 assists and was -11 with 93 PMs. Of his 24 goals, five were scored on the power play and two were short-handed tallies.

Talent Analysis
Sundher is a smooth skating pivot with good hands and playmaking instincts. He will need to play better defensively before making the jump out of juniors but his speed and hockey sense make him an intriguing prospect.
Future
Sundher has all the tools to be a regular in the NHL someday, maybe even as a top six forward. His all around game needs a lot of work still but there really is no denying his passing ability and his speed. He will play out the 2011-12 season in Victoria of the WHL where he should be given more of a leadership role and continue to center the first line. At season’s end, Sundher will likely sign a deal with the Sabres and could be playing in Rochester in 2012.
