Tri-City Americans News Release


KENNEWICK, WA - Tri-City Americans Governor/General Manager Bob Tory announced today that the team has traded the rights to 18-year-old defenseman Lane Werbowski to the Edmonton Oil Kings in exchange for a 4th round pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. The move reduces Tri-City's roster to 24 players (15 forwards, 7 defensemen and 2 goaltenders).

Werbowski, listed at 6'0 185 pounds, has appeared in 18 games this season for Tri-City, collecting two assists, seven penalty minutes and a plus-5 rating. Selected in the sixth round (113th overall) in the 2006 Bantam Draft by Tri-City, the Winnipeg-native has appeared in 118 games with the Americans, totaling four goals, 23 points, 47 penalty minutes and a plus-15 rating.

"(Lane) was in and out of the line-up this season. This move allows for him to compete for more ice time in Edmonton," explained Tory. "We want to thank Lane for his contributions to the team and wish him all the best with the Oil Kings."

The Americans return to the ice this Friday, when they face-off against the Everett Silvertips. Game time is 7:05 p.m. at Toyota Center. Tickets are available through all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Toyota Center box office, all Fred Meyer outlets, or online at ticketmaster.com. Fans can also catch all the action live on NewsTalk 870 AM, starting with the Sterling Savings Bank Warm-up Show at 6:45 p.m.
