Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the
Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has traded
20-year-old Forward Elgin Pearce to the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange
for a fifth round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.
“With us having four 20-year-old players we knew we
had to get down to the League maximum of three prior to the 20-year-old
deadline on October 11th. With numerous 1992 born players
eligible to return for their overage season we wanted to ensure Elgin
had the opportunity to play his final season in the WHL. We would like
to thank Elgin for his three years with our Hockey Club and wish him all
the best in Medicine Hat,” added Chynoweth
As a result of today's transaction, the ICE have 24
players on their roster, including two goalies, eight defensemen and 14
forwards. Of those players, there are three 1992 born players, three
1993 born players, seven 1994 born players, nine 1995 born players and
two 1996 born players.
