Press Release
Prince Albert SK – The Prince Albert Raiders have
acquired 20-year-old defenceman Davis Vandane from the Spokane Chiefs in
exchange for a conditional draft pick 2013 Western Hockey League Bantam
Draft.
Vandane, a native of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, has appeared in 124 WHL
games, recording 3 goals and 40 assists along with 58 penalty minutes
and a plus/minus rating of plus-22. The 6’4”, 215-pound blue liner has
also appeared in 30 WHL playoff games in the past 2 years with the
Chiefs, totalling 7 assists and 14 penalty minutes.
“With Antoine Corbin still in Hamilton on a try-out, this gives us
the opportunity to bring in a solid 20-year-old defenceman with size and
experience,” said Raiders General Manager Bruno Campese.
If Corbin is re-assigned by the Hamilton Bulldogs, the Raiders will
have 14 days to assess their 20-year-old situation and get down to the
overage player limit of three.
