Kitchener, ON - The Kitchener Rangers have announced a trade with the Niagara IceDogs, acquiring forward Andrew Vermeulen (pronounced ver-mew-lin) in exchange for a ninth-round pick in the 2028 OHL Priority Selection.

Vermeulen, standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 185 pounds, was selected by Niagara in the fourth round of the 2022 OHL Priority Selection. A native of Selkirk, Ontario, he signed an OHL Standard Player Agreement (SPA) and education package with the IceDogs in June 2022.
