Clippers acquire defenceman Braydan Smith in trade with Victoria

The Nanaimo Clippers have acquired Defenceman Braydan Smith from the Victoria Grizzlies for Forward Alex Hebblethwaite. Welcome to Nanaimo, Braydan!

Colin Birkas, Head Coach & GM noted, "We were in a position where we needed to add a defenceman, and Victoria needed to add a forward. Trading a player like Hebblethwaite is never easy, we want to thank Hebby for everything he did for the organization, and we are sorry to see him go. Adding a strong veteran defenceman who can play both ends of the ice like Braydan was a top priority for us. We believe he will have a great impact on our team."
