The Battlefords North Stars have bolstered their goaltending in a big way for 2011-2012. The Stars have acquired 1991-born goaltender Blake Voth (Herbert, SK) from the Vernon Vipers of the BCHL.
Voth comes to the Battlefords along with cash considerations in exchange for Dane Muench who was dealt to Vernon at the January 10th trade deadline.
Voth's numbers last season with Vernon were very impressive. Voth had a record of 25-11-3 with a goals against average of 2.12 and a save percentage of .905. He dressed in 40 games last season with the BCHL league champions.
As it stands right now the Stars have two solid goaltending options with both Voth and Graham Hildebrand vying for playing-time.

Wow, Thats huge.. He was one of if not the best goaltenders in the Smaaahl when he played with the Tisdale Trojans. A huge addition to the team. I cant see Hildy sticking around.. His injury problems had to of been a concern..
He set a record in the BCHL for lowest G.A.A.
What a joke! You have a kid bust his balls for you for three years just waiting for that moment when its his turn to take the wheel. There were many times in those three years that Hildy showed he should be the go to guy but he repeatedly lost confidence because Birch played regardless of Hildy's progress. Show some respect for a kid that put his heart in North Battleford for the last three years. I understand what we got could be huge, but come on. Hildy's whole junior career was based on this year coming up. He was so patient, this must be like a slap in the face. For Hildy's sake I hope this guy doesn't come. Use him as trade bate. I just don't understand how you can treat a young man like that.
Anon #3 shut it. You have no clue.always jumping to conclucions. I talked to Hildy and he has talked to Ken.
Ok, if you talked to Hildy. Let's hear what Ken told him.
haha, my words have been eaten. I also had talked to Hildy, but that was obviously before he had talked to ken. I was just sticking up for him because I know he deserves a shot at being number 1.
Ken isn't stupid.... Ive said it before and i will say it again... Ken is the best in the business.. He trades a kid that was a complete cancer in the locker room to a team that he knew, he could get alot out of... So Muench goes to Vernon and Ken got trade bait... Almost every team in the league will be looking for a #1 goalie. Teams in the BCHL know what kind of a goalie he is too.. WOW.... I like this move...
