Fred Harbinson has made another deal today acquiring sniper Brodie Reid from Burnaby for Brent Vandenberg. Reid scored 52 goals as an 18-year-old last season and was a member of the silver medal winning Team Canada West at the World Jr. ‘A’ Challenge this season. Brodie is committed to Northeastern for the 2009/2010 season.

Brodie will be in Vees silks for tonight’s game against Merritt and is a safe bet to be playing alongside Curtis McKenzie and Denver Manderson, his linemates from the World Junior ‘A’ Challenge.

Interestingly, the Vees original leadership group from the start of the season have all now been moved. David Andreassen is back in the AJHL, Nathan Westover has resurfaced in Burnaby after being traded to Drumheller, Perdicaro is playing with Cowichan Valley, and now Vandenberg is in Burnaby. Devon Krogh has been given an ‘A’ to round out the new leadership group.

Here’s Head Coach and General Manager Fred Harbinson on today’s acquisition. The Coach’s thoughts are brought to you by Ironman City Subaru in Penticton.
