The Seattle Thunderbirds have claimed F Chris Cloud, 20, off waivers from the Vancouver Giants. And guess who the Thunderbirds play on Friday? Yes, they are to visit Vancouver. Steve Ewen of the Vancouver Province reports that “the Giants did get trade offers for Cloud, reportedly from the Chilliwack Bruins and Saskatoon Blades, but nothing could be worked out.” The Giants will go with LW Casey Pierro-Zabotel and two defencemen – Mike Berube and Craig Schira – as their three 20-year olds. . . . The Thunderbirds appear to have dropped F Ashton Hewson, whose name no longer appears on their roster on the WHL website, while hanging on to LW Devon Leblanc and C Jared Jagow as their other 20-year-olds. . . . WHL teams have until Oct. 16 to get down to three 20-year-old players.
