Tigers bring up Longo ahead of eastern road swing

Jan 7, 2018 | 11:55 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Trevor Longo will get another shot at cracking the Medicine Hat Tigers lineup, as the 17-year-old defenceman was recalled by the team on Saturday.

Longo has spent most of the season with the BCHL’s Salmon Arm Silverbacks, posting three assists and 12 penalty minutes in 17 games.

Before being signed by the Silverbacks though, Longo dressed for four games with the Tigers in September and October, registering zero points before being released.

Drafted by Medicine Hat in the sixth round of the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, Longo scored 48 points in 78 games over two seasons of midget action with the Vancouver NW Giants.

The move comes after top-pairing blueliner Linus Nassen suffered a broken bone near his wrist on New Year’s Day against the Kootenay ICE, which will keep him out of the lineup for the next six-to-eight weeks.
