Rangers and IceDogs Complete Trade

The Kitchener Rangers announced today that the team has completed a trade with the Niagara IceDogs.

In the trade, the Rangers acquire defenceman Brian Brosnan. In exchange, Niagara receives Kitchener’s 4th round pick in the 2016 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection and their 5th round selection in 2018.

General Manager Murray Hiebert said, “Brian will be a great addition to our back-end and will provide the team with veteran leadership. He played very well last year down the stretch and in playoffs for Niagara. Brian has made significant improvement each season he has played in the league and we look forward to seeing that development continue as a Ranger.”

Brosnan played 53 games for the IceDogs during the 2014-15 regular season. He accumulated 4 goals and 8 assists with 32 penalty minutes. He tallied 4 points and 4 penalty minutes in the 2015 playoffs.
