Rockets acquire Connor Funke

The Golden Rockets have traded Defensman Nick Regan to the Osoyoos Coyotes for Conner Funke. 

Funke hails from Sherwood Park, Alberta and stands 6'2 and weighs in at 200 pounds. In Funkes final season of Midget AA hockey he led his club in goal scoring with 17 in 32 contests.

Coach and GM Jeremy Blumes commented "Connor is a big man that skates very well, he has a number of tools that I believe will prove to be valuable to our club. Former teammates and coaches speak highly of Connors passion and character and those are always critical measures before we make a move such as this one."

Nick Regan aggressively rehabbed a shoulder injury from the start of the year to get into five games with the Rockets this season playing a sound, physical defensive game. With a pair of defensman set to return from the injured reserve Blumes believed the time was right to move a player out.  

"Nick is a competitor and character kid, we enjoyed working with him on a daily basis and we'll miss him. That being said, we have a number of Dmen and are filling a need up front, in my mind this is a deal that will help Nick play more minuites and help our club as well. We wish Nick all the best in the desert.
