TIGERS SEND FANTILLO TO SASKATOON

Medicine Hat, AB — The Medicine Hat Tigers announced late Thursday afternoon that the team has traded 98 born winger Caleb Fantillo to the Saskatoon Blades in exchange for 2019 6th Round Bantam Draft pick.

The Tigers drafted Fantillo in the 6th Round of the 2013 Bantam draft (123rd overall). He was entering his 2nd season in the league after appearing in 63 games as a rookie last year.

Currently this season Fantillo played in 5 games recording 2 assists and 12 penalty minutes.

“We would like to thank Caleb for his contributions to the Tigers on and off the ice and we wish him the best with his new team in Saskatoon,” said Head Coach and General Manager Shaun Clouston.
