Ottawa 67’s Acquire Staubitz and Vanderveeken from the Greyhounds

The Ottawa 67’s have obtained 20 year old defenceman Brad Staubitz, and 18 year old left winger Jamie VanderVeeken from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in exchange for Tyson Aitcheson and Brody Todd

Staubitz is in his Overage year in the Ontario Hockey League and guards the right side on the blueline. The Bright’s Grove, Ontario native is listed at 6.01” and 208lbs and was selected by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the 8^th Round of the 2000 OHL Priority Selection.

VanderVeeken is a young forward who started the season in Toronto with the St. Mike’s Majors. At 6.02” and 222lbs, VanderVeeken will add plenty of size to the 67’s forward line. The Wallaceburg, Ontario native was selected in the 8^th Round of the 2002 OHL Priority Selection by the Guelph Storm.

“We look forward to having these two join us at practice tomorrow” said 67’s Head Coach and General Manager Brian Kilrea. “It’s difficult to give up players, but I think this strengthens our blueline and we have added some size up front.”
