The busy times for the Dauphin Kings are continuing, as they've picked up Landon Russell.
Russell from Mission, BC, is getting set for his second season of Jr. A hockey, after spending a part of last year with OCN, followed by English River.
"I recruited him to come to OCN last year, but we had depth on the back end, so he just wasn't going to get enough ice-time," said Doug Hedley, HC/GM for the Kings. "So, I moved him to English River on a loan. When the opportunity came up, he wanted to join us in Dauphin. I reached out to the GM in OCN, and we made a deal for Landon.
Going OCN's way is Future Considerations.
"He's going to come in here as a 19-year-old defenseman," said Hedley. "He's got a right-handed shot, that's going to give us some good depth on the back end."
Fun Fact:
Landon's born on December 24.
