TRAIL -- The Trail Smoke Eaters have completed a trade with the Penticton Vees involving three players.

Trail has traded the rights to forward Sam Mellor (92) to the Vees in exchange for forward Alex Holland (92), defenseman Djordje Leposavic (92), and future considerations. Mellor, a native of Cranbrook, BC, scored 130 points in two BCHL seasons with Trail but played last season at the University of Alaska-Anchorage.

Holland, a 5-foot-11 forward from Woburn, Massachusetts, is coming off a rookie BCHL season in which he tallied 17 goals and 34 points with the Victoria Grizzlies. Holland has committed to NCAA Division I Merrimack University for the 2013-14 season.

Leposavic, a 6-foot-1, 188-pound defenseman from New Westminster, BC, spent last season with the NOJHL’s North Bay Trappers, scoring 32 points (9-23) during the regular season and adding 10 more (3-7) in 16 playoff games. He was named to the NOJHL’s Second All-Star Team.

The Smoke Eaters would like to welcome Alex Holland and Djordje Leposavic to the organization and thank Sam Mellor for his contributions to the club.
