The Moose Jaw Warriors and Chilliwack may have to rework a recent trade after C Evan Fuller, 20, left the Bruins. Fuller and D Brett Ward, 20, were acquired from Moose Jaw on Oct. 7 for C Brayden Metz, 18, and two draft picks — a sixth-rounder in 2009 and a fifth-round in 2010. . . . Fuller, however, has a bad groin and chose to leave the Bruins. Chilliwack GM Darrell May told the Vancouver Province that Fuller told him he was retiring. May also said: “From the day he got here, we had to tape him up.”

Over the summer, thieves broke into the Vancouver home of former Giants captain Milan Lucic’s parents. Among the items that disappeared was Lucic’s championship ring from the 2007 Memorial Cup. With the Boston Bruins in Vancouver to meet the Canucks on Tuesday, the Giants presented Lucic with a new ring. . . . The Giants attended the NHL game at GM Place and watched as the Bruins, with Lucic getting eight hits, beat the Canucks, 1-0. . . . The Giants are at home to the Tri-City Americans on Wednesday night. Vancouver head coach Don Hay goes into the game with 398 victories, five more than Tri-City’s Don Nachbaur.

Ice head coach Mark Holick and Oil Kings assistant coach Rocky Thompson were both given game misconducts for an animated shouting match between the benches.” . . .
