Fairbanks Winger Quackenbush Traded In WHL

Hulking right winger Isak Quackenbush (6-5, 227) of Fairbanks has been traded in the major-junior WHL, moving to the Prince George Cougars from the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Quackenbush, 18, last season earned 3-2--5 totals in 61 games for Seattle, with 57 penalty minutes that included five fighting majors.

In Prince George, one of Quackenbush's bosses is none other than former UAF Nanooks winger and assistant coach Wade Klippenstein, who is an assistant coach and assistant general manager for the Cougars.

Folks around here may remember Klip as a sniper -- according to an old UAF media guide laying around here, he bagged 72 goals in 131 career games with the Nanooks.
