Battalion sign another defenceman

The North Bay Battalion have signed defenceman Cam Dineen to a contract.

Dineen, who took part  at the teams orientation camp last month, will be 17 next week and was an 11th-round choice in the 2014 OHL Priority selection.

Dineen, a six-foot, 176-pound product from Toms River, New Jersey, played 39 games last season with the New Jersey Rockets’ Eastern Hockey League entry, scoring 11 goals and earning 30 assists for 41 points with eight penalty minutes.

He also played three games with the United States Hockey League’s Tri-City Storm, based in Kearney, Nebraska, without registering a point.

Meantime, earlier this week…

Tuesday was a big day for the North Bay Battalion and their fans

That’s Battalion Head Coach and General Manager Stan Butler.

He introduced Brady Lyle at Memorial Gardens as they officially signed him to the Troops.

Lyle played at Shattuck St. Mary’s School the last few years. He says it was a great moment to put that pen on the paper.

Butler says they are happy to have a local player on the team and hope he is just the first of many.
