Kalamazoo, MI- The
Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings, proud members of the North American Hockey
League’s North division, announce a number of roster transactions that
have been completed in the last 24 hours.
First, forward Nolan Culver has
been traded to the Bay State Breakers of the Eastern Junior Hockey
League for future considerations. Culver had seen action in 15 games
during the season, in which he was able to post three goals and five
assists for eight points, while playing to a +4 rating. The 19-year-old
Sylvania, Ohio native will head out to Rockland, Massachusetts to play
with the Tier III Jr. A team.
In a separate transaction, Kalamazoo has shipped Jacob McDowell to the Fresno Monsters (NAHL) for forward Mikhail Bushinski. Bushinski (Stats)
is a 20-year-old native of Woodbury, Minnesota, who was the leading
scorer for the Monsters at the time of the trade. He is a two-year
veteran of the NAHL, and was fourth on the team in scoring last season
(17 goals, 16 assists, 33 points). Bushinski also showed great
durability last season, as he was the only member of Fresno that played
in all 60 regular season games. He is set to make his debut on Saturday
against the Port Huron Fighting Falcons.
In yet another move, Kalamazoo traded future considerations to the Wenatchee Wild (NAHL) for defenseman Brendan Vetter. Vetter (Stats) is
an 18-year-old defenseman who hails from Fon Du Lac, Wisconsin. He too
has a year of NAHL experience under his belt, as he has spent this
season and with the Wild, however this season he has only dressed in two
games due to injury. In 55 career games, he has 14 points (0 goals, 14
assists) and is a career +9. He was a former teammate of Jr. K-Wing Sam Johnson, and also played alongside Brett Beauvais at last years NAHL Top Prospects Tournament for the 18U Selects team.
Lastly, in a separate move, Kalamazoo has released defenseman Donovan Gardiner.
