Tiger fans, come January,will be cheering for a team that is considerably different from the one that sent Woodstock home unsatisfied Friday evening. To begin with, first liner, Andrew Meredith,the team’s leading point-getter to date, has been called up to the Bathurst Titan for the rest of the season. He, along with line mates Francis Bernier and Robert Pelletier, have accounted for over 30% of Campbellton’s offense. Also impacting the team is the news that Grant West has been traded to Truro for three players plus future considerations. Coming to the Tigers will be twenty year old forward Mike Richard, and nineteen year old defenseman, Brendon McMartin. Also part of the package was Stephen LeDrew, a seventeen year old midget player presently in St. John’s, Nfld. who will be available next year. Again with an eye to building for the future, twenty year old Kevin Woodyatt was traded to Elliot Lake Bobcats of the Northern Ontario Jr. League for eighteen year old defenseman Mitch Blanchard. The Tiger organization wishes to thank these departing players for their contributions to the team and to wish them well in their future endeavors, both on and off the ice.
