Seattle Thunderbirds acquired right wing Owen Seidel and a fifth-round selection in the 2016 Bantam Draft from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for center Kaden Elder.
“We feel Owen has very good potential to be a solid two-way player for us now and in the future,” said general manager Russ Farwell. “He had excellent numbers in (the midget ranks) last year and we are excited to add him to our team. This trade will give Kaden a fresh start in Swift Current and a chance to earn more of an offensive role this season.”
Seidel, from Richmond, British Columbia, has played in seven games this season with the Broncos but has not registered a point.
Elder has played in 14 games this season and has two goals. In 67 career games with the T-Birds, Elder has three goals and two assists for five points.
The T-Birds play two games this weekend in Victoria against the Royals. The games are Friday and Saturday at 7:05 p.m.
The T-Birds’ next home game is Tuesday, Nov. 17, against the Broncos at the ShoWare Center at 7:05 p.m.
Tickets are available online at the T-Birds website and at the ShoWare Center box office. The ShoWare Center Box Office is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday game days at 10 a.m. and Sunday game days at noon.
eason tickets can be purchased by calling the T-Birds office at 253-239-7825.
