Lyle issues trade request

North Bay Battalion head coach Stan Butler says defenseman Brady Lyle has requested a trade.

Butler says Lyle feels he needs more ice time than he’s currently getting.

“You don’t want people around that aren’t happy with their role on the team. Brady’s a real good kid. Hopefully, we can find a good spot for him,” he says.

Butler says this is part of the business and in recent years they’ve parted ways with Brandon Robinson and Blake Clarke who demanded trades.

The Troops ended up acquiring Ben Thomson and Zach Bratina, who were both strong performers.

North Bay is back on the ice Thursday night hosting league-leading Sarnia at Memorial Gardens.

Broadcast time on Country 600 CKAT is 6:55 pm.
