SHYMKO DEALT TO SWAN VALLEY

Press Release

The Yorkton Terriers have sent 20-year-old goaltender Warren Shymko to the Swan Valley Stampeders in exchange for 19-year-old forward Derek Falloon. Shymko backed up the Terriers for both of their finals appearances in 2010 and 2011, and took the starting role this past season, going 18-11-2, with a 2.46 GAA, .912% and 2 shutouts.

The Terriers are still eligible to return 19-year-old Kale Thomson and 18-year-old Dawson MacAuley between the pipes this coming season. MacAuley is expected to be given a good opportunity in Medicine Hat of the Western Hockey League, after spending some time their during the 2011-2012 season.

Falloon, from Russell, MB, had 35 points in 53 games with Dauphin and Swan Valley last season, his 2nd full season in the MJHL.
