Moncton Wildcats News Release


The Moncton Wildcats announced January 8, 2008 that forward Murdock MacLellan has been traded to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in return for a fourth round draft pick in the 2009 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Draft.

The 19 year old Mabou, Nova Scotia native came to the Wildcats from the Cape Breton West Major Midget Islanders as a free agent in 2006. Since then MacLellan has played 84 games and racked up 21 points as a Wildcat.

"It was tough to trade a person like Murdock. He was an outstanding individual and we wish him nothing but the best," says Danny Flynn, Director of Hockey Operations and Head Coach for the Moncton Wildcats.

This trade marks the sixth trade for the Wildcats in the 2007-2008 winter trade period.
