Oklahoma City, OK - The Oklahoma
City Blazers traded veteran centerman Marty Standish to the Laredo
Bucks for future considerations, head coach Doug Sauter announced
today.
Standish, a 5-8, 175-pounder from Kelvington,
Saskatchewan leaves the Blazers ranked in the top five in every Blazers
offensive category.
"It's very tough to trade one of my all-time
favorite Blazers," said Sauter. "I wanted Marty to think about his
future and give him choices for the rest of the season. Laredo is one
of the top franchises in the CHL and I believe that Marty will fit in
there with Coach Ruskowski's team. As an organization, we wish Marty
the best of luck. I personally will miss Marty as a player, a friend
and a Blazer."
"Marty is truly one of the all-time Blazer greats," said CEO of Express Sports
Brad Lund. "He has been the face of our franchise for many seasons, and
served the role well. This roster move has been the most difficult from
a personal standpoint during my 17-season tenure."
