T-Birds trade Klinkhammer to Portland
Seattle, September 27, 2006 - Seattle Thunderbirds General Manager Russ Farwell today announced the team has traded left wing Robert Klinkhammer to the Portland Winter Hawks for a fourth round bantam pick in 2007.
"We had four 20-year-olds on our roster and could only keep three," said Farwell. "We liked having Rob on our team but we had to make a tough decision in regards to our 20-year-olds. We think this trade will give Rob the chance to play and be a good player in this league."
Klinkhammer was acquired in a trade with the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the trading deadline last year. He played 32 games in a T-Birds uniform and had eight points on three goals and five assists. He has played 165 games in the WHL and has 24 goals and 27 assists for 51 points with 154 penalty minutes. The T-Birds home opener is Saturday, September 30, against the Vancouver Giants at 7:05 p.m. at KeyArena.
