GM Will Verner Shuffles The Deck
Coach Will Verner continues to shuffle the deck as he tries to bring another Championship back home to Fernie by making a few trades and signing a couple of players. Verner says “ We traded defenseman Neil Rooney to the Sicamous Eagles for future considerations. We wish Neil well and thank him for his efforts.” “We also released Goaltender Jordan Givens and wish him well and again thank him for his efforts.”
Down a goalie and a forward Verner made a couple of other moves. Verner said “ We have acquired Goaltender Robin Mccoll 89 from the Golden Rockets for future considerations. This deal also finalized the futures owed to Golden for the Liam Buliziuk trade. And have agreed to sign James Braakman, 1990 from Calgary Alberta Last season, James played 36 games with the Calgary Royals Midget AAA team registering 5 goals, 11 assists for 16 points and he had 40 minutes in penalties. James will center Matt MacDonald and Tyson Bentley on Friday night in Golden. Liam Buliziuk, Lee Klapp and Evan Burgess should return to the line-up Friday night as they all have recovered from their injuries. We currently have a roster that includes 15 forwards, 7 defensemen and 2 goaltenders”
