Mustangs add up front and in net, ready for home and home with Flin Flon
The Melfort Mustangs made a trio of moves Jan. 10, as it was the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s (CJHL) Trade Deadline.
The Mustangs added a pair of players, and traded one away as well.
The first and maybe biggest trade of the day came as Melfort acquired forward George King from the Dauphin Kings in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), in exchange for future considerations. King hasn’t played since early November, but in 17 games with the Kings he had seven goals and five assists for 12 points. Mustangs Head Coach and General Manager Trevor Blevins said King adds some speed and skill up front.
“We just felt we needed a little more offensive punch in our forward group,” Blevins told northeastNOW. “He’s got great experience. He’s been off for a little bit here, but it shouldn’t take him too long to get into it.”
