The Dryden GM Ice Dogs have made some changes.
The club has acquired defenceman Ben Smaha and Eric Masters from the English River Miners for Hank Bouchard and Mark Dryer.
The move will give some Ice Dogs some toughness and some speed and grit up front.
The Ice Dogs are also welcoming back forward Zach Kercz.
The 19-year-old forward was reacquired from the Stouffville Spirit.
Kercz recorded 46-points in 44-games last season with the Ice Dogs.
