Lumberjacks announce a pair of trades

The Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks have completed a pair of trades as they head into the final stretch of the Greater Metro Jr. A seasaon. The Jacks sent 20 year defenceman DJ Champagne to the Mattawa Voyageurs in exchange for a future draft pick. Coach Lui Ricci hopes the move will allow Champagne more playing time than he would have saw in Sturgeon Falls.

The Jacks then picked up 21-year-old defenceman Taylor Jackson from the South Muskoka Shield in exchange for the rights to forward Ryan Brain, who currently plays for the NOJHL's North Bay Jr. Trappers.

The 6'3", 200lbs Jackson brings as defence first approach, and is looking forward to making run at the Russell Cup with the Lumberjacks.
