TRADE ALERT! – Vipers Acquire Max Bulawka From Warriors
January 10, 2020
Vernon, BC: The Vernon Vipers have acquired forward Max Bulawka from the West Kelowna Warriors in exchange for Elan Bar-lev-Wise and future considerations.
Bulawka is an 18 year old forward from Kelowna. He is in his 3rd BCHL season. He has 15 goals and 9 assists in 37 games played this season. Overall he has 77 career points in 144 games. Over his last 5 games he has scored 5 goals.
“Max is an experienced player who has the ability to put up points,” says Head Coach and GM of the Vipers Jason McKee. “His experience within the division is a big bonus.”
Elan Bar-lev-wise is in his 2nd season with the Vipers and was a key contributor in the Vipers run to the Fred Page Cup Finals last season.
“Elan is a spectacular human being who gave everything he had when we was on the ice,” says McKee. “We sincerely wish him all the best with West Kelowna.”
The Vipers would like to welcome Max to the Vipers organization and wish Elan all the best with the Warriors.
Max will join his new team this weekend when the Vipers host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

I like this trade! Elan Bar-Lev-Wise was hot and cold during last year's regular season, but really picked up his game and play during the Vipers playoff run last season. I was expecting him to continue that play into this season and I'm guessing the Vipers were too and it just didn't get anywhere close. Bar-Lev-Wise has been in and out of the lineup this year and struggled. Bar-Lev-Wise didn't do much of anything this season, wont be missed and should have been traded or released much earlier. I like the addition of Max Bulawka who seemed to play well vs the Vipers on most nights. A third year veteran forward, put up 44 pts last season and has 24 pts this season, can hopefully add some secondary scoring to a Vernon team that desperately needs help offensively. Has some decent size, plays physical may bring a little grit and sandpaper to the Snakes lineup.
Wow.... kind of a dick post about an 18 year old
VDHF is right, Bar-Lev-Wise should have been gone months ago!
