Dan Mulhausen Tri-City Americans


KENNEWICK, WA - Tri-City Americans Governor/General Manager Bob Tory announced today that the team has traded for the rights to 19-year-old forward Todd Kennedy from the Vancouver Giants in exchange for a 13th round pick in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. The move puts Tri-City's roster at 25 players (15 forwards, 8 defensemen and 2 goaltenders).

Kennedy, listed at 6'3 212 pounds, has appeared in seven games for Vancouver this season, collecting 16 penalty minutes. Now in his third WHL season, Kennedy has appeared in 76 career games, between Regina and Vancouver, totaling three goals, eight points and 162 penalty minutes.

"An opportunity arose late last night to acquire (Todd) from Vancouver. With the pick we acquired from Prince George for (Spencer) Asuchak, we were able to take advantage of this opportunity," Tory explained. "I've respected his physical aspect he brings to his game since he was 17 and we look forward to him competing for ice time on this club."

Todd is expected to arrive in Tri-City later today and will make his Americans debut sometime over the Thanksgiving weekend.
