Vancouver Giants News Release


Vancouver BC- Vancouver Giants General Manager Scott Bonner today announced a trade with the Kamloops Blazers, sending 20 year old defenseman Ryan Funk to the Blazers in return for 18 year old Left Wing Brett Lyon.

Funk has dressed for all 27 games so far this season for the Giants, and has 5 assists and 49 penalty minutes. Giants GM Scott Bonner says "With the imminent return of Garry Nunn from injury, we needed to free up a spot for a 20 year old. It was a difficult trade to make because Ryan is a character kid, who has played well for us, and will be missed in our dressing room"

Lyon (Jan 23/91), a Grand Forks, BC native is 6'2'' and 185 pounds and has a goal and 4 points to go along with 63 penalty minutes in 23 games with the Blazers this season. Bonner added "We like Brett's size, and feel that he will fill a role on our team, he also adds depth to our 91 born players"

Lyon will join the Giants for practise on Tuesday.

The Giants have also announced that forward Todd Kennedy has been re assigned, the Giants will try to make a trade to allow him to continue to play in the WHL.
