Press Release

The Battlefords North Stars completed a player transaction acquiring the CJHL rights to left shot defenseman Connor Sutton ( January 12, 1994) from the Dauphin Kings, in exchange for the CJHL rights to twenty year old forward Tim Rollins ( March 13, 1992). The transaction was part of a three team trade which included player movement between the North Stars, Dauphin Kings of the MJHL, and Calgary Mustangs of the AJHL.

He was a third round pick in the WHL bantam draft by the Prince Albert Raiders.

Tim Rollins played two seasons with the North Stars compiling 59 points during the regular season and play-offs. The North Stars would like to thank Tim and the Rollins family for their dedication to the Organization and wish him all the best with the Dauphin Kings during the upcoming season.
