North Stars upgrade forward depth at deadline
A couple of days before the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League trade deadline, the Battlefords North Stars dealt Jared Power, who had just been acquired for Dylan Williamson, to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Grand Prairie Storm.
In exchange for Power, the North Stars received 1998-born power forward Parker Smyth, who recorded 25 points in 34 games this year for the Storm.
That transaction didn’t stop the North Stars from upgrading their forward depth even more during yesterday’s deadline.
The North Stars also acquired 20-year-old Garan Magnes from the Spruce Grove Saints and dealt 18-year-old forward Jacob Tibbatts to the Lloydminster Bobcats for 19-year-old Cole Johnson.
