Vaillancourt on the move in Royals blockbuster

The Temiscaming Royals completed the largest trade in franchise history as they sent Darcy Vaillancourt, Alain Pouliot, Kevin Wierda and Nik Priebe along with their 1st and 3rd round picks in the annual GMHL draft to the Inisfil Lakers in exchange for 19-year-old forward Tim Revell and 17-year old defenceman Justin Murray.

Vaillancourt - a former North Bay Trapper and Algonquin Baron - is currently 4th in league scoring with 27 goals and 24 assists in 24 games this season.

Priebe - the other North Bay product - was acquired earlier in the season from the Muskoka Shield. Priebe is currently playing high school hockey with the Chippewa Raiders.

Revell had only played two games with the Lakers before the trade. The Kingston native, who is committed to the University of Alaska, had 3 goals and 1 assist in his short time with the Inisfil GMHL club.

Murray, who hails from Shawville, Quebec, was a 7th round draft pick of the QMJHL's Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
