Ryckman, a native of Red Deer, AB is also one of the team’s Assistant Captains this season. So far in 2011-2012, the 19-year old has registered 1G, 1A, a minus 7 plus/minus rating and has 21 PIM’s in 11 games.

On the trade, Preston said “Derek Ryckman has been a real good competitor for the Lethbridge Hurricanes since his 16 year old season. We wish him the best of luck in his career with the Tri-City Americans.”
The Lethbridge Hurricanes are back in action tomorrow night, October 17th at 7pm, when they host the Kootenay ICE.
