October 6, 2018 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Calgary Hitmen News Release
Calgary, AB - The Calgary Hitmen Hockey Club today announced they have acquired a fourth-round selection in the 2019 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2020 from the Tri-City Americans in exchange for defenceman Dom Schmiemann.
"With eight defencemen with WHL experience and only six spots it has been difficult to get everyone into the line-up", said Hitmen General Manager Jeff Chynoweth. "We thank Dom for everything he did both on and off the ice for our organization and wish him all the best in Tri-City."
Schmiemann is in his fourth WHL season and was originally a first-round pick of the Swift Current Broncos, 12th overall, in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. The product of James River Bridge, AB, tallied 12 points (1g, 11a) in 51 games during parts of two seasons with the Hitmen.
The Hitmen return to action on Monday, October 8 when they welcome the Prince Albert Raiders to the Scotiabank Saddledome for a Thanksgiving matinee game at 2:00 p.m.
The 2018-19 Hitmen Hockey Pass is still available and includes 34 game tickets to be used anytime, in any combination. Pass holders also receive a $50 Scotiabank Saddledome gift card and a complimentary ticket to a select Flames, Roughnecks or Stampeders game. Passes start at less than $7 per ticket for kids and under $15 for adults.
