A week ago, the Calgary Hitmen were hoping to get their first win. Things got a bit worse for them, as they were shut out twice over the weekend.
A week of Hitmen news
The Hitmen trimmed down their roster with a pair of transactions last week. They settled on two goaltenders – starter Carl Stankowski and backup Jack McNaughton – by reassigning Matthew Armitage to a yet-to-be-determined team. Forward Orca Weisblatt was also reassigned.
Over the weekend they also moved a veteran defender to give their young blueliners more playing time. Nineteen-year-old Dom Schmiemann was sent to the Tri-City Americans for a 2019 fourth round bantam selection and a conditional 2020 draft pick.
