Cranbrook, BC -- Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club today announced the Club has acquired 20-year-old Forward Zach Franko from the Kelowna Rockets in exchange for a sixth round pick in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft and a third round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.
“Heading into the WHL Trade Deadline our primary goal was to add a 20-year-old Forward. We are very excited to add a player with the credentials of Zach Franko. Not only is he a top six forward who will provide much needed offence to our team, but he comes from an organization that knows how to win,” added Chynoweth.
Zach Franko was a second round selection (32nd Overall) in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft and is in his fourth season with the Rockets. Franko will be in the ICE line-up this Friday when Kootenay host Edmonton at 7:00 pm. For tickets please call 250-417-0322.
As a result of today’s transaction the ICE are now carrying 23 players, including two goaltenders, eight defenseman and 13 forwards.
