The Prince George Cougars have acquired F Charles Inglis, 18, from the Saskatoon Blades for a 2011 second-round bantam draft pick.
In 137 regular-season games with the Blades, Inglis had 56 points, including 30 goals, and 158 penalty minutes. He was the fourth overall pick, by Saskatoon, in the 2007 bantam draft. Inglis, from Winnipeg, will be attending the Phoenix Coyotes’ camp later this week. He has a free-agent tryout deal with the NHL team.
So why did the Blades ship Inglis out of town?
“Charles had broken some team rules,” Lorne Molleken, the Blades’ GM and head coach, told Cory Wolfe of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. “It was a situation where he was warned and broke the rule again, so it was time for a change.”
