Jr. A Timberman no longer banned from box

There are a lot of ways off-season recruitment can go wrong. Finding a guy sitting on the floor in a hallway after playing a completely different sport than the one you’re recruiting for and asking him if he wants to play for your team? Typically not the greatest idea. In fact, we have probably just uncovered how Matt Millen finds the Detroit Lions’ draft picks.
Luckily for the Nanaimo Timbermen, star forward Matt Wray knew exactly what he was doing when he approached John Flatters after a WHL hockey game.
Flatters, a big blue-collar defender from Calgary, was quick to answer in the affirmative after spending four years forbidden from playing lacrosse. After just three games in the BCJALL, Flatters is already finding himself ranked alongside Wray as one of the toughest players in the league.
Nanaimo will be looking to do a lot more than drop the gloves tonight, however, as they try to bounce back from an 11-2 loss in Victoria. The Timbermen will be taking on the Port Coquitlam Saints at the Nanaimo Ice Centre at 5 pm.
