Bulldogs trade Weich, Putz

Always tough to see guys moved - one of my least favorite parts of the game. Something had to happen obviously with the number of 20 year olds the Dogs had on their roster. Best of luck to Drew and Everett, a couple of great guys who gave their all to the club last year.

BULLDOGS LOG JAM OF 20-YEAR-OLDS GETS LIGHTER

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Port Alberni, BC – The Alberni Valley Bulldogs announce two trades involving 20-year-old players for the 2015/16 season.

With teams in the BCHL allowed only six, 20-year-old players, these moves were necessary to create room for the coming season.

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have traded Everett Putz to the Calgary Mustangs for future considerations. Putz spent one season with the Bulldogs and always gave a complete effort.

This trade sees him play out his final year of junior hockey at home in Calgary, AB, where he will sure to be a fan favorite.

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have also sent 1995-born defenseman Drew Weich to the Drayton Valley Thunder in the AJHL to complete the future considerations component of the Eric Therrien acquisition from Drayton Valley back in December 2014.

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs would like to thank both Drew and Everett for their  contributions to the team and our community and wish them the very best with their new teams.
