Ward Szucki is now an Estevan Bruin.
The Battlefords North Stars have sent Szucki (91 - Neepawa, MB) to Estevan to complete a trade that took place on January 9, 2009 which saw the North Star's land the services of forwards Chad Filteau (89) and Kyle Hall (92 - Assiniboia, SK).
In addition to Szucki, the Stars parted ways with forwards Ryan Andersen (90) and Justin Waskewitch (92) in the deal.
Szucki enjoyed a fine rookie season with the North Stars and chipped in with five goals and seven points in 10 playoff games. He will bring strong offensive upside to the Bruins a long with great size and character.
The price for Chad Filteau was steep, but he did not dissapoint during his tenure in the Battlefords. Filteau recorded 12 points in 11 playoff games and provided the Star's with game-breaking speed and scoring prowess.
Hall is a left-winger who tallied 37 points in 44 games last season with the Tisdale Trojans of the SMAAAHL and assuming he commits to playing with the Stars this season, he'll enter training camp as a favourite to land a roster spot.
