Kelowna, BC: The Kelowna Rockets have announced that 18 year old Dylan Hood has been traded to the Moose Jaw Warriors.

The Rockets send Hood to the Warriors in exchange for 21 year old Ryley Grantham and a fifth round draft pick in the 2011 Bantam Draft.

President/General Manager of the Kelowna Rockets Bruce Hamilton stated, "We're giving up a third year player and a quality person. The way our roster looks now, we wanted to send Dylan to a place where he would get the ice time he deserves. Acquiring Ryley, we acquire a heavy weight champ that will add some spirit to our dressing room."
