Klippers Send Mysiorek To Flin Flon and More Moves

Well so much for a nice relaxing Saturday afternoon haha. I am sure alot of you sensed moves would be made. It started yesterday afternoon when a trade was completed to bring in goaltender Brandon Stone from Estevan. More on that in a bit but a blockbuster deal between Kindersley and Flin Flon has been completed.

Kindersley has dealt Jesse Mysiorek to the Flin Flon Bombers in exchange for the rights to Jesse Mychan, Connor Gay and cash.

This was a move I am sure Kindersley wasn't expecting to make at the start of the season but it has become evident that the Klippers need to commit to the rebuild. Mysiorek has spent his entire Junior A career in Kindersley and had hoped to finish it as a Klipper. I know it was tough for Kindersley to have to move there leading point getter, but it is a win win for both organizations. Flin Flon who I have heard numerous rumors to having had interest in Mysiorek now officially bring him into the fold. It really gives them a versatile power forward that can score, hit and play a solid two way game. Mysiorek will be a treat for Flin Flon fans to watch, he plays exactly the style of play most fans in Flin Flon go to the games to see. I wish Mysiorek the best of luck moving forward, he was a good hockey player but even a better guy to get to know. I know he leaves behind alot of friends in Kindersley and it will likely be a sad day for him to have to leave but he is going to a strong Bombers squad that has a chance to win it all this season. I am not sure who Mysiorek will play with on a line but if you put him with Jay Young, you have your SJHL equivalent to Lucic and Horton in the NHL.

Kindersley brings in Connor Gay and the rights to Jesse Mychan. Mychan is one of those risk players that could pan out big for the club. I say risk because he is currently playing in the WHL for the Everett Silvertips. It is unknown if he will stick there the rest of the season but he is 19 years of age meaning he could also come back to Kindersley as a 20 year old for his final year.

In terms of Connor Gay, this is the main piece in the deal. At the age of 16 Gay is putting together a very good season in Midget AAA. He is playing with the Saskatoon Blazers and currently leads his club in points with 24 in 18 games. That is good for 11th in AAA scoring. I don't know much about the youngster at the moment but he is a Saskatoon product and will get to play close to home in Kindersley likely next season.

I will chat with Rockie prior to tonight's contest regarding the Mysiorek deal.

The other trade I eluded to yesterday afternoon on twitter was the acquisition of goaltender Brandon Stone. Stone was brought in from Estevan for future considerations. The Bruins had 3 solid and had to move one. I had a chance to see Stone play last Friday out in Estevan. He started the game for the Bruins picking up the W. He was very solid in that contest making a number of ridiculous saves. He is 17 years of age and was re assigned by the Moose Jaw Warriors back in October. So far in his SJHL career he has a 4-1 record with a 3.46 GAA and .892 save %.

The Klippers had 3 goaltenders with that acquistion, well now they have 2. Fraser Abdallah has been released by the team meaning they are moving forward with McDonald and Stone.

It also sounds like Kade Halabuza has walked from the Klippers. I really enjoyed getting to know Kade, he was a good kid and hilarious to talk to. Not sure what his plans are but he wasn't getting much game action which is likely why he has decided to leave. More on this aswell tonight

It has been a busy day for the Klippers organization and they may not be done yet. I will keep you updated throughout the day. Oh ya and there is indeed still a game tonight, a big one for the Klippers. I will get to a pregame report later this afternoon.

Cheers for now !
