The Surrey Eagles have acquired goaltender Hayden Missler and defenceman Jeremy Smith as part of a three-team trade completed on Friday. The Trail Smoke Eaters have acquired forward Chase Stevenson, and the Powell River Kings have acquired defenceman Ethan Martini to round out the rest of the deal.
The 1999-born Missler appeared in 10 games this season with the Powell River Kings, posting a .915 save percentage and 2.38 goals-against-average. Listed at 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, Missler joins goaltenders Cayden Bailey and Kyle Dumba in the crease for the Eagles.
Smith is a 1998-born first-year BCHL player, who split last season between the Ontario Junior Hockey League and the North American Hockey League. An offensive defenceman, Smith recorded five goals and six assists in 21 games this season with the Trail Smoke Eaters.
Both players are currently en route to Surrey, but will not be in the lineup for Friday night’s game vs the Langley Rivermen.
