Kamloops, BC - General Manager and Head Coach Shaun Clouston announced today that the hockey club has acquired 2002-born defenseman Marko Stacha from the Vancouver Giants in exchange for a fifth round pick in the 2023 WHL Prospects Draft.
Stacha is listed at 6'1" and 196lbs. The 19-year-old is from Ilava, Slovakia and played the 2020-21 season with the Giants where he played all 22 games and had a goal and five assists for six points.
"Marko is a solid two-way defenseman with experience in our league," commented Clouston. "We were able to watch him lots last season and really liked his game.
