“We wish Carl nothing but the best moving forward and are excited that he will have an opportunity in Moose Jaw to pay as an overage. We thank him for all of his contributions over the last three seasons.”

Tetachuk finishes his career with the ‘Canes at 10^th all-time in games played by a goaltender (95), while finishing sixth in franchise victories with 50. He also ranks tied for fifth in franchise shutouts, with five.

With this trade, Lethbridge currently has three projected overage players going into the 2021-2022 season, including forwards Logan Barlage and Justin Hall, and defenseman Alex Cotton.
