Buccaneers week in review
NANAIMO — The Buccaneers strung together two convincing wins to end a modest losing skid, and were forced to be very active with the VIJHL December 10 trade deadline looming.
Key injuries combined with a couple of Bucs roster players wanting to play closer to home forced head coach and general manager Curt Toneff to have a phone constantly to his ear.
“It was an interesting 24 hours, to say the least,” Toneff said. “It wasn’t anything planned – it was bad luck, unfortunate timing for some things that transpired. We lost Tyson McLean for the season. We were already short up front. Then Jacob Gosling goes down…We kind of had to do something.”
The Bucs moved Trey Boylan to the Oceanside Generals in exchange for skilled forward Jory Swanson.
