Grizzlies Move Goalie Shawn Parkinson

In an effort to trim the roster before the January 10 trade deadline, the Victoria Grizzlies have moved goaltender Shawn Parkinson to the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, for a Player Development Fee.

Parkinson, from Sooke B.C, played in 12 games for the Grizzlies this season posting a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, a save percentage of .907 and a goals against average of 3.32. Parkinson also played two games last season as an affiliate goaltender.

“Shawn is a great young goalie and deserves to be in a situation where he can play more. He will have a starting job with the Thunder, so a great opportunity and I am confident he will do very well there” – commented Grizzlies HC/GM Craig Didmon.

The Victoria Grizzlies organization would like to thank Shawn for his contributions on an off the ice and wish him the best of luck in the future.
