Canadians add much need offence! Oct 16, 2009 Head Coach and owner Jason Clarke knew his team needed some scoring punch and he got it in Alaska...yes you read it right, Alaska. The Canadians picked up 6'1, 210lb RW Matt Thompson, who played for the Belle Tire Midgets last season and was second on his team in scoring. Belle Tire had one of the top midget teams in North America last year and their Head Coach Chris Corey had nothing but great things to say about Matt. "He's the type of player that is consistent - very consistent. He has great size and wins a lot of one on one battles which allows him to create a lot of offensive chances for himself and his linemates." When Head Coach Clarke was asked about the pick up, he added, "Matt is just the type of player we are missing right now. We needed some size up front and with his offensive abilities he should be a great addition to our organization." ........................................................................................................................................

The Canadians sent Mitch Bird to the Kemptville 73's for an 8th round draft pick in 2010. They also sent their captain Jason McCarthy to the Cumberland Grads for a 5th round draft pick. In addition to making these deals, the GM also sent sent Matt Lafleur back to Jr.B in Almonte, where he will get more ice time and be able to work on his game. When asked about the moves, Hawkins replied, "Our younger guys have been the ones carrying this team thus far and by dealing Bird and McCarthy it allows us to give more ice time to them. We felt as an organization it would be best to make room for our younger guys to develop. All three young men are good kids and we wish them the very best in their hockey futures." ........................................................................................................................................

Another familiar name to the Carleton Place hockey scene is Tanner Knight, son of former Carleton Place King, Rusty Knight.

Canadians Make Two Deals Over The Weekend May 27 2009 General Manger Jason Clarke was very busy over the weekend while attending the CJHL Prospects Camp. Clarke made two deals that will indeed make the future very bright for the Canadians. Clarke dealt Kyle Cromie, Brett Varrin, Caz Cantwell and a fourth round draft pick in 2010 to the Pembroke Lumberkings in exchange for the playing rights to Ryan Lowe and Scott Shackell. Ryan Lowe played for the Arnprior Packers and is a speedy left shot that can either play the wing or up the middle. Shackell just finished defeating the CP Jr B Kings in 7 games and all the local fans know just how good this tender is. Clarke also traded the playing rights of McCauley Banning to the Nepean Raiders for a third round pick in the 2009 draft which will take place this weekend. ........................................................................................................................................

He's a great character player and will be an on-ice leader for this club. He leads by example and the young players will feed off his work ethic. To get Stout, Lafleur and Barney was a surprise to us as an organization. I am thrilled to have all three players. These boys have played for me and know what is expected of them day in and day out. We have a solid base from the draft and now we need to build around the players we have selected!" ........................................................................................................................................
