Hey out there all you Bobcats fans it is time to get a little excited! Here are
our drafts and trades we have done other the past 3 days at the League Draft.
We were able to make a couple trades early to add some depth in goal and
toughness to the ice. The Bobcats made a trade for goaltender Shane Buckly of
Espanola Kings who is an outstanding goaltender and is eager to learn and play.
Shane is well known to me and others in our area and we are extremely pleased to
have him on board.
In exchange for Shane we gave a young goaltender from Arizona AAA Midget program
that we selected second round overall today and a 3rd round draft pick to the
kings.
Also we added big winger Antonio Morris from Don Mills area. Antonio Morris who
has grit and determination and size to his resume. He played last season for
Tamworth and was traded to Douro at the end. He is very eager to play here. It
is what he wanted and requested. In exchange we gave Brock Bucks a 4th and 5th
round pick from our draft.
