The Mariners gave up 2th, 4th round draft picks and future considerations, stating, "We still have 14 draft picks in including our territorial's so the picks wern't a huge concern". Stayed tuned for more moves.

The Mariners have two new faces in town. Defenceman (19), Phill Jennrich, 6'3 190 from Lake Forrest has been acquired from the Yellowstone Quakes of the NorPac Junior League. Phill had 4 goals and 13 points in 16 games with Yellowstone and is looking forward to coming to Yarmouth. "The Mariners come highly recommended and I am very excited for this opportunity" said Jennrich, who hopes to be in the line up this weekend.
  Also making his way east is Winger (19) James O'Reilly, who started the season with the Nepean Raiders of the CJHL where he collected 5 points in 12 games. " James became available, we had seen him in the summer and decided to offer to give him a conditional try out " says Timothy Garden-Cole.

The Yarmouth Mariners have made a dream come true for one lucky fan. Long time fan Randy Muise, a member the the Mariner's Icy Knights program has been hired as Assistant Equipment Manager. " Randy is a great young man and a huge fan" said Garden-Cole, " I don't think anyone deserves this more then Randy. Every game Randy brings tremendous support for our club, he is always hanging around the boys and helping out so it just made perfect sense".
   The Mariner's obtain Randy's services through Exclusive Employment Services which is a great program which helps people with special needs find employment.

 The Yarmouth Mariners have traded F Davey Shea and a 7th round draft pick to the Bridgewater Lumberjacks for D Rodney Mahoney and a conditional 5th round pick. " Davey is a good kid and we wish him the best, things just weren't quite where we wanted them to be with him" said Timothy Garden-Cole.
  Mahoney, brother of Mariners current leading scorer Kenny Mahoney is playing for the MAAA St.John's Fog Devils where he currently has 10 points in as many games to go along with 46 pims." He is a kid we had looked to draft but Bridgewater grabbed him", said Garden-Cole, " He is a player we have in our system for years to come, he will finish up his high school and midget, get a little stronger and more confident and be over next year. Overall we are pleased".
