The Port Moody Panthers have acquired goalie Kyle Cheema from the Campbell River Storm in exchange for future considerations.
The former player with Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, which is the equivalent of the Pacific Junior Hockey League, has a season record of 4-1-1 with his old club and a goals-against average of 2.74. His save percentage is .884 in the six games he has played this season.
The 17-year-old spent the 2013-14 season with the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget League, compiling an 18-11-4 record and a 3.13 goals-against-average.
At 6'0" and 170 lbs, Cats management said the net minder moves well between the pipes and has worked closely with Joey Ali, a goalie coach for the BCHL's Coquitlam Express.
In another move last week, Port Moody released 1995-born goaltender Christian Plain.
"The Panthers would like to thank Christian for his contribution to the team," the club said in a press release.
