Street, 34, had five goals and nine assists in 14 games with the Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League this season. The Coquitlamite wore the captain’s “C” for the baby Devils for the last two seasons.

Forward Brady Lynn (47 goals, 46 assists in 178 games with Coquitlam, Nanaimo, and Cowichan Valley from 2016-20) has transferred from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology to Marian University to play NCAA Division III hockey.

The 22-year-old from Victoria, BC didn’t get into any games with Ontario Tech because U SPORTS cancelled the winter season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
