The Victoria (WHL) Franchise announce they have completed a trade with the Portland Winterhawks for goaltender Keith Hamilton in exchange for Victoria’s 3rd, 4th and 8th round picks in the 2012 Bantam Draft.

The Kelowna, BC native joins Victoria after compiling a 17-6-0-2 record with one shutout during the 2010-11 season. Over that span he earned a 2.91 goals against average and a save percentage of 0.914.

“Keith is a technically sound goalie who comes to us from a very successful program in Portland,” General Manager and Head Coach Marc Habscheid said. “He will push for the starting job this year, and has solidified our goaltending corps as we now have three quality goaltenders at different age ranges in Hamilton, Braden Gamble and Jared Rathjen."

Portland Winterhawks General Manager & Head Coach Mike Johnston said “We didn’t want to enter next season with two 19-year-old goalies. In recent weeks we have signed two promising young goaltenders in Brendan Burke and Jarrod Schamerhorn, and we’re confident one of them will step up and do a good job as the backup next season.”

I predict that he will stop many pucks.
