The Bage Valley Wildcats have acquired goaltender Gabe Bergeron and forward Connor Hussey from the Amherst Ramblers in exchange for goaltender Xavier Farrah.
Bergeron, a 2005-born goaltender from Calgary AB, comes to the Valley in this his first season in the MHL. In 4 starts with the Ramblers , Bergeron has recorded a 3-1 record, with a 3.68 GAA to go along with an .872 SV %. Prior to the MHL, Bergeron started in 24 games with the Sicamous Eagles of the KJHL, recording a 16-7 record with a 2.65 GAA to go along with a .903 SV %.
Hussey who hails from Paradise NL, joins the Cats after splitting this season between both the Pictou Crushers and Amherst Ramblers. In 21 combined games this season, the 2006-born Hussey has recorded 7 points (5G, 2A) as well as 8 PIMS.
Welcome to the Valley, Gabe & Connor!
We would also like to thank goaltender Xavier Farrah for his commitment to the Wildcats, and the Valley community for the past two seasons.
Your first chance to see the new acquisitions in action is this Friday as the Cats host the visiting Truro Bearcats at 7pm.
