Eagles Make Signings at Deadline

The Powassan Eagles are proud to announce they have made some additions to their line-up at the trade deadline. "We were in a position that we have been rolling 22 guys for most of the season in order to make sure all of our players were playing each game. Going into the playoffs we wanted to bolster our line-up to make sure we are prepared for the playoffs. We need to make sure we have a full line up every night as injuries and suspensions are expected to happen going into the final stretch." stated assistant coach Kevin Totten.

The Eagles have added Daniel Vlach who was recently playing Major Junior in Russia in the MHL. He also spent time playing Midget Major AAA in Detroit for the Motor City Metal Jackets two seasons ago.

The Eagles have also added former North Bay Trappers Midget AAA captain Josh Storie.  Defenceman Tyler Kates (Garden CIty, MI) and Pat Rideout (North Bay, ON) will be coming to the organization aswell. The Eagle's crease will have a much different look as Powasson signed goalies Vladimir Varlamov and Vladimir Hak from free agency.

"We were in a situation where we had a couple injuries on forward and an injury to one of our top defenseman Pat Gleason and we had to make these additions. Patrick's injury is a really tough blow to our organization. He is a great kid with a bright future as he already has been gaining the attention of college scouts. It's looking like he is not going to be playing much the rest of the season as we do not want to jeapordize his hockey career as he is still a very young player." Stated head coach Gary Astalos.

"We feel we have brought in all the right pieces to help our club compete for a championship. We will need all 26 players on our roster to contribute as we go into the final stretch of the season." Stated General Manager Michal Kolarik.
