Warbirds welcome in new goalie

St. Paul, MN -

The Minnesota Warbirds made it no secret that they were looking for a goalie in the offseason to backup Robi Albert.

"Patrick (Walford) has done a great job for us in the past, but he hasn't shown up to camp and he hasn't been around the team." GM Greg Ezell said in a press conference once the league announced the trade. "We can't go into the season hoping that Patrick was working out on his own, so I had to address the situation as any GM should."

And address the situation he did. The Minnesota Warbirds sent quiet winger Dan Torsiello to Castlegar for goaltender Trevor Pullin.

"We're very excited to have Trevor come in and have a goalie competition for the backup goalie spot. I think it will bring the best out of all three of our goaltenders in the upcoming season. Was it sad to see Dan go? Sure, but Mr. Kemp stated a need for a winger and he was available." Ezell continued.

Pullin was unavailable for immediate contact. The Warbirds, and their new goalie, are gearing up for the Frank Barron Tournament championship game.
