Five acquire Alex Johnson from Windsor Express, release Tyrell Tate:
The Sudbury Five announce that they have made two changes to the team’s roster.
The team has agreed to trade the playing rights for Canadian Alex Johnson to the Windsor Express for future considerations. Johnson’s rights were acquired last week from the Saint John Riptide in exchange for Walter Pitchford.
Both teams have mutually agreed that the future considerations of the deal will include the playing rights of head coach and general manager Logan Stutz.
The team has also announced the release of Canadian Tyrrel Tate. Tate played in five games for the Five, where he averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 rebounds per game.
