Cranbrook, BC -- Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has reassigned 18-year-old goaltender Brett Teskey to a team and League to be determined.
"With three goaltenders vying for two spots we felt to be fair to the goalies it was important to get down to our roster sooner rather than later. It is always difficult when you have to release a veteran player and we would like to thank Brett for his contribution to our Championship team last year and wish him all the best in his future hockey endeavours," added Chynoweth.
As a result of today's transaction, the ICE are carrying two goaltenders, eight defencemen and 16 forwards. Of those, Drew Czerwonka (Edmonton), Max Reinhart (Calgary) and James Martin (Calgary) still remain at NHL Training Camps.
The ICE Home Opener will be September 24 against the Calgary Hitmen at 6:55 pm. Tickets are available at the Kootenay ICE Office or by calling 250-417-0322. The Recplex Box Office will be open starting at 12:00 pm on Saturday, September 24.
