The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have acquired 2002-born forward Ethan Leyer from the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The Bulldogs acquisition of Leyer completes the future considerations from the Feb. 22 trade that saw Alberni Valley send 2001-born forward Jacob Bossé to the Wolverines.

Leyer, a St. Albert, AB product who is committed to St. Cloud State University for September 2022, had a goal and six points in 10 games for Whitecourt this past season.

In his sophomore campaign in the AJHL of 2019-20, he notched 17 goals and 48 points in 55 games.

Bossé ended up scoring a goal and an assist in seven games with the Wolverines in the abbreviated 2020-21 season. He posted 33 points in 47 games for Alberni Valley in 2019-20.
