The Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League have acquired "scoring forward" Geordie Wudrick (8 goals and 6 assists in 24 games) from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for import forward Stepan Novotny (14 goals and 11 assists in 23 games) and prospect Tanner Clark (currently playing in the SJHL).
Wudrick, 19, joins the Rockets after four seasons with the Swift Current Broncos. Last season the Abbotsford native scored 35 goals and added 22 assists for 57 points with the Broncos.
“We’re happy to be able to acquire a player like Geordie Wudrick,” said Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton. “He’s a high-end player that we think we will get back next year as an overage player as well. He’s a big guy and can score goals and we think he will help us.”
Wudrick, a 6-foot-3, 208 pound left winger, was a second overall WHL bantam draft pick by Swift Current in 2005.
