The Truro Bearcat brass was busy before this morning’s draft even got underway making a huge trade with Pictou County sending veteran Lucas Canning along with a 2024 5th Round Pick(Campbellton) and 2024 6th Round Pick(West Kent) to the Crushers. In return, the Bearcats gained long time Pictou blueliner Camden McKenzie, defensive prospect Ben Lindsay, 19 year old forward Nicholas Crosbie as well as a 2024 2nd Round pick that originally belonged to Truro and Pictou’s own 2024 3rd rounder.
McKenzie, a 2004 born defenseman from Eastern Passage, NS has been a mainstay on the Pictou County blue line the past 2 seasons. A MHL veteran of over 100 regular season games, Camden is a rugged, throwback player who takes care of his own end first. We’re very excited to bring McKenzie to Truro for his final junior season.
Lindsay, a 2007 born defenseman from Middle Sackville, NS was a 2nd round pick of Pictou in 2023. He played this past season with record breaking Halifax McDonalds U18 club putting up 18 points from the back end en route to a league championship and an appearance in the Atlantic final.
Crosbie, a 2005 born forward from Bay Roberts, NL started this season in Pictou County appearing in 9 games before electing to go back home and play Junior B with his hometown CBN Star team where he put up 28 points in 22 games.
Welcome Camden, Ben and Nicholas to the Truro Bearcats organization!
