The Portage Terriers have traded the list rights to F Mitch Vanderwey (06) and a Player Development Fee to the Winkler Flyers in exchange for the MJHL rights to D Alex Thompson (06).
Thompson (5’8”, 161) has spent the past two seasons in the WHL with the Portland Winterhawks. A right-shot defenceman, Thompson played 40 games as a 16-year-old rookie, and then 19 last season. The Winnipegger played on the same RHA U15 Prep team as current Terrier Rhett Perrin during the 2020-21 season.
Vanderwey is currently playing for the Minnesota Mallards (NAHL).
Welcome to the team Alex!
