Islanders trim training camp roster by four


The Charlottetown Islanders released four players from training camp on Monday.

Forward Brady Griffin-Hefford and Kyler Carter along with defencemen Lucas Sangster and Dominik Reid were the four players released.

Griffin-Hefford, 18, was a 13th round pick of the Islanders in the 2014 QMJHL Entry Draft and attended his second training camp this season. It is most likely he will play junior A with the St. Stephen County Aces who owns his rights.

Carter, 17, attended his first QMJHL camp this Summer as he was a free agent signing last season. Last season he played two games with the Islanders and 15 games with the Summerside Western Capitals of the MHL. He is expected to join the Capitals.

Sangster, 18, was a fifth round pick of the Islanders in the 2014 QMJHL Entry Draft and was a late cut last season. He will join the Amherst Ramblers of the MHL where he played last season.

Reid, 16, was seventh round pick of the Islanders in the 2015 QMJHL Entry Draft. His junior A rights are owned by St. Stephe. According to an Islanders release, he will be going back to Fredericton for major midget.

With the recent cuts, 26 players now remain in camp with three goaltenders, nine defencemen and 14 forwards.
