Soo T-Birds trade a goaltender
Soo Thunderbirds of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League have shipped 1995 birth year goalie Nathan Warren to the Winker Flyers of the Manitoba Jr. Hockey League in a cash exchange.
Warren became expendable with the recent return of 1997 birth-year goalie Mario Culina to the Thunderbirds from the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League.
“Today is a tough day for us losing a quality person and player in Nathan,” said T-Birds general manager Jamie Henderson. “We felt he deserved the opportunity to be a no. 1 goalie somewhere and Winkler has a strong team this year and will provide Nathan with the opportunity to do so.”
In 15 games with the T-Birds this season, Warren was at the top chart with 14 wins, a 1.67 goals against average and .931 save percentage.
Now what plans do the T-Birds have with the cash they just got from the Winkler Flyers?
