Big d-man heads to Hearst
An inter-league cash transaction has landed the Hearst Lumberjacks of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League a good size defenseman.
Ethan Kitsch, a 6-foot-3, 180 pound blue liner with a 2002 birth date, has been obtained by Hearst from the Renfrew Wolves of the Central Canada Hockey League.
Kitsch divided the 2021-2022 season between Renfrew and the Mission City Outlaws of the Pacific Jr. Hockey League. He netted three goals, two assists, five points in eight games with Mission City before heading to Renfrew where he totalled five assists, five points in 21 outings.
