PICKERING, ON- Pickering Panthers General Manager Sean Meyers announced today the completion of two trades.
The Panthers acquired forward Nole Faulker from the Milton Menace in exchange for Angelo Protopapas. The Panthers then dealt Faulkner to the Cobourg Cougars in exchange for Parry Sound native Lewis Hergaarden and a Player Development Fee.
Hergaarden, the 2008 born forward measures in at 6’3 and spent last season with the Haliburton County Huskies (now the Cobourg Cougars), where he scored 12 points in 32 games.
He was also selected 14th overall in the 2025 U18 Priority Selection by the Oshawa Generals. Lewis also took part in the 2025 Zach Hyman Prospect Series and scored 7 points in 4 preseason games for the Cougars.
We thank Angelo for his time as a Panther and wish him nothing but the best moving forward!
Everyone join us in welcoming Lewis to the Den!
