Kennewick, WA – The Tri-City Americans today have dealt for 17-year-old defenseman Justin Mazurek from the Portland Winter Hawks in lieu of a 7th round bantam draft choice in 2006 that was obtained from the Hawks for defenseman Mike McDonald on November 28th.

The 6’1”, 190 pounder from Calgary, Alberta played 11 games for Portland this season and had no points and 21 penalty minutes. Mazurek suffered a shoulder injury in late October and has been out since the injury occurred.

“The deal addresses a need for defensemen in the 1988 age group”, said Americans governor/general manager Bob Tory.

Mazurek has rehabilitated his shoulder and will play the remainder of the season with Drumheller of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He will be listed as an affiliate player for the Americans.
