The Winkler Flyers added some forward depth on Wednesday with the acquisition of 19-year-old forward Carson Pawlenchuk from the OCN Blizzard.

The St. Albert, Alberta product recorded seven goals and four assists in 39 games last season with OCN.

"Carson will add some good depth for us. He works hard and will be able to fill the roll that we want him to play," said Winkler general manager Jeff Jeanson.

Pawlenchuk is a 5’11”, 170lbs gritty forward who brings the Orange & Black up to 23 players on the active roster.

The Flyers sent future considerations to the Blizzard in the deal.
