The 6-foot, 196-pound defenseman has notched six assists in 28 games with the Bombers this year. Tennant played 237 games in the Ontario Hockey League with the Kingston Frontenacs and the Plymouth Whalers from 1998- 2002, recording 21 goals and 69 assists in that time.

"Tennant's a fresh set of legs that can help us out. He's very similar to [Condors defenseman] Tyler Scott and he's excited to be on a playoff team." said Head Coach Marty Raymond. "We needed a power play guy like Fisher. The doctor examined him and he'll be good to go in a week. Baker's a guy we can use down the stretch. He showed last night he can still play."
