After a week of speculation, the dust has finally settled on Niagara Icedogs OA F Bradey Johnson as the team sent him to the Hamilton Bulldogs for a 15th round pick in 2022. Johnson looked like one of the more reliable Icedogs forwards in training camp and had a spirited display in Barrie scoring a goal and getting in a fight. He scored 11 goals last season while adding 16 assists.
“This was a difficult trade for us that brings mixed emotions,” said GM Joey Burke. “On the one hand, it is very difficult to move a guy like Bradey who is a complete embodiment of what it means to be an IceDog. He is a high character individual with an unmatched work ethic and a great teammate on and off the ice. At the same time, this is a great opportunity for Bradey with a great organization in Hamilton. We are excited for him.”
