The Nipawin Hawks have sent 20-year-old forward Joel Mabin to the Melville Millionaires for a player development fee.
The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) club made the move Monday after they added 2003-born defenceman Liam McInnis on Saturday, as the acquisition of the Regina, Sask. product put Nipawin at nine 20-year-old players, the league limit is eight per game.
General Manager Tad Kozun said with the addition of McInnis the staff had a tough decision to make sending their longest tenured player to the Millionaires to reunite with former Hawks’ coach Doug Johnson.
“It’s always tough with that conversation,” Kozun said. “Joel wore letter for us last year, he is wearing one this year, he’s a great kid. I can’t say enough good things about him.”
