Moose Jaw, SK: The Moose Jaw Warriors have acquired defenseman Ty Wishart, forward Evan Fuller and a 3rd round pick in the 2008 WHL Bantam draft in exchange for forwards Brad Riege, Justin Maylan and the Warriors 1st Bantam selection in 2008.

Wishart was the 1st round (16th overall) pick of the San Jose Sharks in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft and Prince George's top scorer this season. The 6'5 203lbs Wishart is also the WHL's leading defenseman in scoring with 12 goals and 28 assists for 40 points. Wishart, the native of Comox, BC, will bring more size and leadership to the Tribe's defense. "He is a NHL 1st rounder that brings international and playoff experience to our team," stated Warriors General Manager Chad Lang. "He is a leader and understands what it takes to win."

Fuller was the 7th round (197th overall) pick of the Vancouver Canucks in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. The 6'2, 190lbs native of Williams Lake, BC has 6 goals and 8 assists in his 24 games thus far this season.

"He is a four year veteran in the league that brings playoff experience along with an all around solid game," added Lang about his second addition to the Tribe's roster.

Both Wishart and Fuller will make their first appearance in a Warriors uniform on Wednesday January 9th as the Tribe takes on the Brandon Wheat Kings in their first home game in 2008.
