Trade day “hectic” for Leth; Raiders ready for Spoke and Stoon
To say that Cavin Leth didn’t have much time to settle in with the Prince Albert Raiders is the understatement of the season, so far. The Raiders acquired the 20-year-old from the Seattle Thunderbirds on late Thursday evening, less than 24 hours before starting a 3-in-3 series in Edmonton on Friday.
Leth had a busy day of travel and met his new team moments before suiting up for the three game series.
“It was pretty crazy. It was a hectic day,” Leth smirked. “I got told [about the trade] the night before the game in Edmonton. It was kind of hectic getting on the plane, flying out there, landing and meeting all the guys at pre-game, then jumping on the ice with some kind of unfamiliar faces. But it was nice jumping into it instead of having to wait it off.”
Not everybody in the room is unfamiliar to Leth. He reached the WHL finals with Nic Holowko last season in Seattle, and ran into Swift Current’s Tim Vanstone during Leth’s time as a Bronco from 2013-16 before last year’s deadline.
