This is posted on the BCHL website:26-Oct-10 The Vernon Vipers Hockey Club transfers the playing rights of Gus Correale (F)(93) to the Grande Prairie Storm Hockey Club of the AJHL in exchange for the playing rights of Austin Baecker (92)(D) and future considerations.
Correale who is from Prince George, BC was in his first season with the Vipers. Correale went pointless in nine games this season.
Baecker who is from Kelowna, BC started the season with the WHL Seattle Thunderbirds. On October 14th the Merritt Centennials who owned his playing rights, traded Baecker to the AJHL Grande Prairie Storm. But it looks like Baecker never played for the Storm (Wasnt listed on the Storm roster) and stayed with the Thunderbirds. Baecker went pointless in seven games with the T-Birds this season. In 26 games last year with the Merritt Centennials Baecker picked up just one assist in 26 games.
Here is the official trade from the BCHL website that saw Baecker traded to Grande Prairie:
14-Oct-10 The Merritt Centennials Hockey Club transfers the playing rights of recently acquired Scott Milnthorp (92)(D) and Austin Baecker (92)(D) to the Grande Prairie Storm Hockey Club of the AJHL in exchange for the playing rights of Lino Chimienti.
Austin was never here this season, he was in Merritt for the first couple days of training camp before heading off to Seattle for the T-Birds camp.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBrian, What can you tell me about Austin Baecker? What kind of defenceman are the Vipers getting? Will he report to Vernon?
