The Battlefords North Stars have just swung a couple of deals over the weekend in an effort to boost their already-loaded lineup of players.
One deal sees the North Stars deal 2000-born Brett Gammer to the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League, in return for 2000-born Jaxon Steele.
The other deal sees Ben Hiltz traded from the Weyburn Red Wings to the North Stars, with forwards Dace Prymak and defenceman Jordan Gagnon going to the Wings with a PDF.
Hiltz had just been in action for the Wings against the North Stars on Friday night, getting an assist as the North Stars beat the Wings 2-1 to take two of three on their recent weekend road swing. So far this season Hiltz has 11 goals and 11 assists; Prymak had four goals and seven assists while Gagnon had one assist.
The North Stars weren’t the only SJHL club in the mood to make deals. A lot of players were on the move this weekend and the past few days in Junior A hockey, with the league’s website reporting the following transactions:
