Lilley, Moscaluk quit the Hitmen

Here's a little brief from the Brandon Sun:

Hitmen LW Darryl Moscaluk, 20, and C Cam Lilley, 19, quit the team on Saturday

Anybody know why they quit?

They mentioned on Sundays broadcast that both boys wanted to pursue other career options open to them. As discussed in the other thread, Moscaluk leaving is quite surprising because he had been getting significant ice time this year, much more then years past. Lilley was used sparingly so not as much as a surprise.

The interesting thing here is that with Moscaluk leaving, we now have an open roster spot for a 20 year old. It will make it easier for us to snag a good over-age scorer from a team not expecting to do much at the deadline if Kisio can get a deal done.

Apparently Moscaluk has joined the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the AJHL, I will confirm with a link as soon as it becomes available.

Here is that link of the Oil Barons scoring leaders. Moscaluk has 3 pts in 2 games along with 36 penalty minutes.

I like the AJHL and all, but quitting the best team in the WHL, and possibly all of Major-Junior hockey and going to the AJHL isnt exactly a move that will forward his hockey carreer.

I see he is already making friends...
