Press Release
Medicine Hat, AB – Medicine Hat Tigers announced this afternoon the acquisition of 20-year-old goaltender Cam Lanigan from the Portland Winterhawks. The Tigers will send Portland a seventh round pick in the 2013 WHL bantam draft.
The native of Calgary, AB is off to a terrific start in his fifth WHL
season, posting a 1.00 goals against average in his first three games
including one shutout. He also sports a very impressive .96 save
percentage and leads all WHL goaltenders in both categories.
Lanigan helped the Kamloops Blazers take the Portland Winterhawks to a
seven-game series in last year's Western Conference final.
“We are pleased with the overall effort of our team and are
especially excited about the development of our younger players. At this
time, we believe it is necessary to bring in a veteran goaltender. We
look forward to Cam joining our organization,” said Tigers’ general
manager/head coach Shaun Clouston.
The move gives the Tigers four overage players with Lanigan joining
Elgin Pearce, Derek Ryckman and Alex Theriau, who is currently on the
injured reserved list.
“We will continue to evaluate our overage situation as we move forward,” stated Clouston.
