Moberg reassigned to Solar Bears

Cole Moberg (Prince George 2016-20) was reassigned to the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears by the San Jose Barracuda (AHL). The 21-year-old defenseman has played for both clubs this season. With the Barracuda, he has 10 points (2G-8A) in 29 games. With the Solar Bears, he has played eight games and has three points (1G-2A).

The North Vancouver, BC product played his entire 187 game DUB career with the Cougars where he had 89 points (29G-60A).

The 24-year-old forward played 190 games with the Giants where he collected 184 points (61G-123A). He was the Giants captain for his final three seasons in the DUB (from 2015-18).

Juulsen recalled by Vancouver

The defenseman from Surrey, BC played his DUB career with the Silvertips where he had 124 points (30G-94A) in 240 games.

Smilanic’s rights traded to Montreal

The Regina Pats’ 2017 WHL Bantam Draft third-rounder Ty Smilanic had his NHL rights traded by the Florida Panthers to the Montreal Canadiens. The 2002-born forward from Denver never reported to the Pats and is currently in his second season with Quinnipiac University in NCAA where he has 22 points (13G-9A) in 38 games.

A lifelong season ticket holder for the Regina Pats. His fascination with the Pats became an obsession at around 16-years of age when he stumbled across an old published list of ALL-TIME REGINA PATS SCORING and GOALTENDING. The list that was published was incomplete and that was not acceptable to him. Over the last 20-plus years, he has done what he can to finish that list and continues to try to complete the history of the Pats. He is an unofficial Pats historian.
