    Prince Albert, Saskatchewan -The Prince Albert Raiders have acquired 17 year-old forward Todd Fiddler, 18 year-old defenceman Austin Bourhis and a 4th round selection in the 2012 Western Hockey Bantam Draft from the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange for 18 year-old forward Ryan Harrison.

    Fiddler, from Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, led the Saskatchewan Major Midget Hockey League in scoring this past season with 44 goals and 49 assists for 93 points in 40 games for the Beardy's Blackhawks, winning the league scoring title by 19 points and was named league MVP. He also had 2 goals and 6 assists in 6 playoff games, picking up at least one point in all but 4 of the Blackhawks 46 games he played in during the 2009-10 season. Fiddler also competed for Team West at the World Under 17 Challenge in Timmins, Ontario picking up 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 games during the 2010 tournament. Fiddler was the Tigers 3rd round selection, 65th overall in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft and appeared in 1 regular season game for the Tigers.

    Bourhis, from Kipling, Saskatchewan, played for the Yorkton Terriers in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League this past season collecting 7 goals, 14 assists and 139 minutes in penalties for the Terriers. Bourhis was 6th in the SJHL in penalty minutes. He was acquired by the Tigers from the Edmonton Oil Kings last season, also appearing in 1 WHL game in 2009-10.

    Harrison, from Kelowna, BC, has played two full seasons with the Raiders, appearing in 135 games with 28 goals, 61 assists and 248 minutes in penalties. He was the Raiders 2nd round selection, 29th overall in the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft.

    "Todd Fiddler's skill set is of exceptional quality," says Bruno Campese, Raider Head Coach and General Manager. "His skating ability, hockey sense, playmaking skills and scoring ability will make him an offensive threat."

    "Austin Bourhis is a hard nosed competitor that is tough to play against and will add some toughness to our lineup," according to Campese. "The Raiders would like to thank Ryan for his contributions over the past two seasons and wish him well in the future."
