The Coquitlam Express have acquired right-handed forward Mitch Newsome from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in exchange for future considerations. 

The 18-year-old player, who has already secured an NCAA scholarship to Michigan Tech and has won a Fred Page Cup with the Penticton Vees, will be a strong addition to the lineup, said coach Barry Wolff.

“We were looking for someone to add some offence and are excited to get Mitch into the lineup,” he said earlier this week.

Meanwhile, defenceman Jarell Pinchuk has been traded to the Canmore Eagles of the AJHL for future considerations. 

Newsome will be in the lineup on Friday night with the jersey No. 18 as the Coquitlam Express take on the visiting Langley Rivermen at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex at 7 p.m.
