2000-born forward Jack Barnes has signed with the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League for the upcoming season.
Barnes, who was traded from Penticton to Cowichan Valley last June, didn’t play any games for the Capitals during the BCHL’s training season.
The Buffalo, New York product had 42 points in 156 games with the Vees from 2017-20. His dad Stu played for Tri-City from 1988-90 and has been part owner of the Ams since 2004.

Defenseman Trevor Longo (three assists in 19 games with Langley and Salmon Arm from 2017-18) cleared Western Hockey League waivers on Friday and is a major junior free agent.
Longo, a 2000-born blueliner from North Vancouver, played parts of three seasons in the WHL, finishing with 33 points in 135 games split between Medicine Hat and Vancouver.
Victoria acquired Longo’s Canadian junior A rights from Drumheller of the Alberta Junior Hockey League last June, but he didn’t play a game for the Grizzlies during the training season last fall.
Earlier this month, he committed to play U SPORTS hockey at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario this fall.
