YOUNGSTOWN - The Youngstown Phantoms have traded defenseman Ty Farmer for draft picks in the upcoming United States Hockey League May 2017 Draft.
Farmer, of O'Fallon, MO, will stay in the USHL Eastern Conference with the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
The transaction included Farmer and Youngstown's tenth round pick in Phase One of the May 2017 USHL draft for Muskegon's fourth round pick in Phase One and Muskegon's fifth round pick in Phase Two.
"Ty has been with us for the past two-and-a-half years and has been a great young man and an exceptional competitor," said General Manager Jason Koehler.
