The Canadian Junior Hockey League trade deadline was Saturday evening, and the Battlefords North Stars didn't stand pat.
At about 5 p.m., it was announced they had traded North Stars captain Ryne Keller to the Winkler Flyers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.
In exchange the North Stars received future considerations, which could be a player to be named later or cash.
The Wilkie native had been a member of the North Stars since the 2011-2012 season, playing both forward and defence.
In 184 regular season games, he recorded 24 goals and 47 assists, as well as a goal and four assists in 24 playoff games.
He sits fourth on the all-time games played list for the North Stars franchise, behind Tony Oak (202,) Woody Klaasen (191) and Fraser Allan (190.)
