Cranbrook, BC -- Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has acquired 18-year-old Defenseman Tanner Muth from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for 18-year-old Forward Adam Rossignol.
“With the injuries we currently have to our defensemen we were looking to add depth and stability to our back end. It is very tough to find available defensemen in the 1993 age group that also have WHL experience. This transaction will also give us more options next season as we currently have three 19-year-old defensemen on our roster. We want to thank Adam for his contributions to our Club and wish him all the best in Swift Current,” added Chynoweth.
Tanner Muth, who was a second round selection of the Seattle Thunderbirds in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft (36th overall), will be in the line up tomorrow night against the Moose Jaw Warriors. Tickets are available at the Kootenay ICE Office or by calling 250-417-0322.
