Rockets make trade

The Kelowna Rockets have acquired 17 year-old Carter Rigby from the Prince George Cougars and a conditional 6th round bantam pick in exchange for a 3rd rounder in 2012.
Rigby is a 6'2, 210 pound forward who played the majority of last season in the KIJHL with Osoyoos.
After his season concluded in Osoyoos, he joined the BCHL's Penticton Vees where he collected seven points (1+6=7).
Rigby is from Penticton and scored 67 goals and collected 120 points playing midget hockey.
Rigby is a 8th rounder of the Cougars from 2009.
From the video's I've watched of him, he has skill but won't hesitate to fight.

This is a player we have been lacking for a really long time. A big forward who can score, be a presence in front of the net and fight if the bell rings. This is great news.
