Klippers add NAHL D Casey Rogers

I've been in Delisle most of the day at the provincial nine-man final, but I can now pass on the word that the Klippers have acquired defenceman Casey Rogers, who last played with the Corpus Christi IceRays of the North American Hockey League.

The move had been in the works for nearly a week but had not been finalized.

Rogers, 19, is a California native who played for the KIJHL's Golden Rockets last season. He played 13 NAHL games this season, with one assist, but was pushed down the depth chart in Corpus Christi.

The previous year in Golden, he had five goals and 16 points in 30 games. The year before that, he played at the Banff Hockey Academy and also played three games with the AJHL's Brooks Bandits. He stands about 6'1", 190 lbs.

Rogers arrived in Kindersley Thursday night and will make his debut tonight against Melville. The move means the Klippers are back to having eight defencemen.
