The Portland Winterhawks have traded forward Killian Hutt to the Regina Pats in exchange for a fourth round pick in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft and a conditional pick in the 2011 draft.

Hutt had 13 goals and 22 assists for 35 points in 57 games with Portland as a rookie last season. Prior to the start of this season he was assigned to the St. Albert Steel of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for conditioning following offseason surgery to remove a cyst from his lower body.

“Killian is an exciting young player and a quality person, and we wish him the best as he continues his career in Regina,” said Portland Winterhawks General Manager and Head Coach Mike Johnston.
