Wednesday . . . early

F Kyle Beach is on the move again and he’s going back to the U.S. Division. Beach, the 10th overall pick in the 2005 bantam draft, has been traded by the Lethbridge Hurricanes to the Spokane Chiefs. In return, the Hurricanes get D Mike Reddington, 19, and D Landon Oslanski, 17. Beach, the WHL’s rookie of the year in 2006-07 with Everett, was dealt by the Silvertips to Lethbridge last season. He finished with 66 points and 165 penalty minutes in 54 games. . . . Reddington is beginning his fourth WHL season. A second-round pick in the 2005 bantam draft, he had 17 points last season. . . . Oslanski, who played for the midget AAA Sherwood Park, Alta., Kings last season, was a third-round pick in the 2007 bantam draft. He had an assist Friday in his first WHL game, a 6-3 victory over the Cougars in Prince George.

On Saturday night, with his Chilliwack Bruins carrying nine defencemen, Marc Habscheid, the GM and head coach, suggested changes would be coming sooner rather than later. On Tuesday, he dropped sophomore Carter Berg, 17, who was the 26th pick in the 2007 bantam draft.
