At six-foot three and 205 pounds Jordan Cartney is certainly a large presence between the pipes for the Hamilton Red Wings. <\/p>\n
In town for about a week, the 20-year-old from Calgaryis now the junior hockey clubs number one puck-stopper and he says hes up to the task. <\/p>\n
As a team I think we have the guys that can make a run for the playoffs and go for it, said Cartney, who played 21 games (8 wins, 11 losses) with the Pickering Panthers before being acquired by the Red Wings. Its a nice fresh start. <\/p>\n
He toiled with the Fort Frances Lakers of the Superior International Junior Hockey League last season. <\/p>\n
Cartney got his first win as a Red Wing on Monday night when he stopped 42 shots to help Hamilton beat the Orangeville Flyers 4-3. <\/p>\n
The Red Wings were in dire need of a solid puck-stopper after veteran and last seasons team MVP Mark Sinclair and his brother and forward Luke were released on Monday. <\/p>\n
Both have joined the Caledonia Corvairs of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League and Mark picked up a shutout inhis first start in goal as the Corvairs were 1-0 winners in Thorold on Wednesday night. <\/p>\n
Hamilton head coach Scott Elliot said the brothers from Dundas asked for their release. <\/p>\n
