Deadline addition standing out for Hurricanes
LETHBRIDGE – When the Lethbridge Hurricanes announced a series of moves heading into the WHL trade deadline on Jan. 9, one deal in particular stood out as a clear sign that the organization was committed to reaching the playoffs for a second straight year.
The club dealt Colton Kroeker, Brett Davis and a fourth round draft pick in 2018, in exchange for 20-year old forwards Zak Zborosky and Matt Alfaro, along with a sixth-round pick.
While Alfaro has certainly been impressive in a Hurricanes jersey — putting up 12-points in 12-games since the trade — Zborosky has taken his game to another level. Prior to the deal, the right winger from Regina registered 44-points in 41-games for the Ice. Since then, he has 24-points in 17-games, jumping from a points per game rate of 1.07 to a standout 1.33.
Following practice at the ENMAX Centre, Zborosky met with Lethbridge News Now to discuss the trade and what life is like in a new city.
