The Seattle Thunderbirds have traded goalie Ryan Gilchrist to the Lethbridge Hurricanes for a conditional pick in the 2017 Bantam Draft.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ryan had a good camp this year but with the play of Carl Stankowski and the addition of Rylan Toth we wanted to give him a chance to play in the league,” said T-Birds general manager Russ Farwell . “We wish him good luck as he moves on to Lethbridge.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gilchrist appeared in three preseason games this season and had 1-0-0-0 record with a .875 save percentage and a 3.51 goals against average.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The T-Birds signed Gilchrist on Feb. 20, 2015.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
