BINGHAMTON - The Binghamton Black Bears have issued a trade agreement with the Blue Ridge Bobcats that will send forward, Josh Fletcher, back to the Black Bears. In return, Blue Ridge will receive FPHL playing rights to defenseman, Mathieu Boislard.

The 3rd line center played the 200-foot game, contributing on both ends of the ice.
