Last year with Estevan, Tomac had 4 goals and 9 assists along with 31 PIM in 50 games as a 17 year old, he will be in North Battleford next Thursday as the North Stars open training camp on Friday August 28th.
Tomac will obviously bring more size to the club. He was largely used as a fourth liner last year in Estevan, and was likely added for depth purposes.
Realistically Dalton didn't have much of a chance to make the North Stars this season given their depth on defence. In speaking to Estevan coach Kerry Biette earlier this summer, Biette had mentioned that his team needed to get bigger on the blue line, and they certainly accomplished that with the addition of Dalton.
Overall, it's hard to find fault with this move

The Flin Flon Bombers have announced two players have committed to the team for the 2009-10 season.
1991 F Andrew Johnston (Saskatoon SK) comes to the club from the Saskatoon Contacts of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. Johnston ended 2008-09 like a house on fire as he led the loop in scoring with 15-goals and 10-assists in just 10-playoff games. That followed a regular season in which Johnston had 13-goals and 26-assists in 43-games.
1991 G Klynt Spencer (Lethbridge AB) backstopped the Y’s Men from the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League to a 14-2-and-4 record. He had a tidy 2.40-GAA and .906-SPCT. His goals against average ranked third overall in the league.

TRADE
August 17/09
Nipawin Hawks trade 1991 D Koltyn Miller (Redvers SK) to the Dauphin Kings of the MJHL for 1989 F Brad Biggers and 1990 F Curtis Brolund (Brandon MB).
TRADE
August 17/09
Nipawin Hawks acquire 1990 F Taylor Epp (Moose Jaw SK) from the Weeks Crushers of the MarJHL for future considerations.
Taylor Epp started last season with the Stars, and actually performed quite well in the early going. Epp often found himself as the 12th or 13th forward on the Stars, and should see a heightened role playing in Nipawin.

You're going to want to tune into the Co-Op Leisure Time Sports Fix on Monday night for my interview with the CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon.
I don't want to spoil anything, but all I'll say is that Cohon was a total class act, and I am greatly looking forward to his next appearance on the show.
Catch the interview on Monday night, at 8:00 on CJNB/CJNS.

Training camp is only 8 more days away. Life is good!
