MHL Trade: Lumberjacks Acquire Blueline Help

The CIBC Wood Gundy Lumberjacks have made a big move to shore up their blueline. The local Junior A hockey club has dealt former first round pick Damon MacEachern to the Metro Shipbuilders for 18-year old defenceman Brandon Leonardo. The Jacks also get a fifth round pick in the 2013 draft and a seventh round pick in 2014. The six foot one inch, 190 pound Leonardo was a fourth round selection by Woodstock two years ago. The Lantz native has a goal and an assist in nine games this year. MacEachern has just three points in eight games this season after registering only 17 points a year ago. The Lumberjacks next game is Friday night when they welcome Dieppe.
