Salmon Arm, B.C. — The Salmon Arm Silverbacks have traded 20-year-old defenceman Noah Lugli to the Wenatchee Wild in exchange for future considerations.
The 6-foot-5 veteran tallied six assists in 25 games this season for the Backs after playing in 93 games the past two seasons between the Bonnyville Pontiacs (AJHL), Wellington Duckes (OJHL) and Minnesota Magicians (NAHL).
“It was a tough decision to move on from Noah, but with Devan Newhook coming off IR, we had to free up a roster spot,” Silverbacks assistant coach and assistant general manager Tanner Cochrane said. “Wenatchee was very interested in Lugli, so we felt we could put in a good spot to have success.”
The Silverbacks would like to thank Lugli for his dedication to the Silverbacks and wish him well with the Wild.
