Stars Acquire Folstad and Neufeld

The Battlefords North Stars are en route to Humboldt as I type this, and I can tell you with certainty that the following trades have taken place:

The Stars trade: F-Alex Leclerc (89) and D-Dusty Iron to the Nipawin Hawks for D-Cody Folstad (90) and D- Jordan Swenson (93).

Then...

The Stars acquired F- Shay Neufeld feom the Camrose Codiaks for future considerations.

Folstad could join the team as early as tonight (but won't play) and Neufeld tomorrow. Swenson will play for the PA Mintos this year.

The coaching staff told me that it was a tough morning. Alex Leclerc was a key contributor to last year's team, and was a great teammate; but the team needed to bolster the blue line, and this gave them their best opportunity to do so.

I will be posting game updates tonight on Twitter. Follow a long at http://twitter.com/danoconnor19

CJNB's favourite Colorman Matt Ryan has made the trip this time too! Maybe he will bring the Stars that added spark!

A quick reminder:

Saturday's Preseason Game against Kindersley will be broadcast live on CJNB/CJNS and http://www.cjnb.com

Can you tell I'm stoked?

Hey Dan,
I believe Folstad is a 90 not an 89.
