The Trenton Golden Hawks have now seen their goaltenders from 2019-20 switched out.
Anand Oberoi and Oliver Troop are now both gone, with three goalies ready and eager to take their places.
On Tuesday night, the G-Hawks finalized a deal to move Oliver Troop to the Georgetown Raiders, in exchange for future considerations. Head Coach/GM Peter Goulet says, “It is unfortunate it didn’t work out with Troop. He is a great kid and played well for us last year. We felt like we had to make a change. We wish Oliver nothing but the best in his future endeavours.”
Trenton struck a deal with the Mississauga Steelheads of the Ontario Hockey League, to acquire Joe Ranger. Goulet says, “Ranger is looking to play some games. He made the OHL as a 16-year-old goalie and you do not see that a lot. Wednesday (November 18) was his first competitive hockey game. We expect him to be a bit rusty as he has only been on the ice with his goalie coach. We are really happy to have him, and look forward to what he can bring to the team.”
The native of Carp (Ottawa Valley) is turning 19 in February, and stands 5’11. After his time with the Ottawa Valley Titans (AAA), he moved on to the U18 Carleton Place Canadians (AAA). He jumped into two seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, where he had a 6-10-4 record. Over his two years he had a 4.21 Goals Against Average and an 863 Save Percentage. He is a 2018 4th rounder in the OHL Priority Selection for Mississauga.
