The futures in the trade with the Humboldt Broncos  from last January was finally announced today.

 

This was a trade that will definitely benefit both teams.

 

Last January the Bombers acquired Goalie Charlie Tritt, Defenseman Ryder Knutson and Forward Connor Miller to help push for a League Championship.

 

As we all know, the trade paid off and the Bombers were able to win their first league title in 33 years.

 

All three of these players were instrumental in the team winning a Provincial title and getting a chance to go to a National Championship.

 

Tritt was named the league's top netminder and Miller was selected the SJHL Playoff MVP.

 

Today we found out the pieces going to Humboldt as three talented forwards will make their way to the Broncos including Jack Martin, Ryan Ulmer and Leo Seitz .

 

All three of these players were part of the squad that helped Flin Flon win the league last season  and all three will be able to step into Humboldt's lineup this year and compete for another League Championship.

 

Head Coach Cole McCaig had this to say about the deal. " We had a team meeting with the three players that were picked by Humboldt, it was very emotional with a lot of tears that were shed. We are losing three really good players who are also really good human beings. They have been great ambassadors in the community and they will be very tough to replace. We now need to move forward as a group,  and now we need to send a statement to the rest of the league that we are still one of the team's to get through to win this  league."

 

The Bombers make their way to Estevan tonight to face the Bruins and are currently 1-1 on this road trip after blanking Weyburn 3-0 on Wednesday night. The road trip will come to an end tomorrow night in Yorkton in a rematch from last Spring's Canterra Seeds Cup Final.
