The Great Hockey Heist: What a Blockbuster Trade Says About Priorities in Youth Sports The recent trade between the Brampton Steelheads and Sudbury Wolves is a stark reminder that some teams in junior hockey will stop at nothing to get what they want.
The trade involved 17 draft picks, including several high profile selections, for Tanner Adams, a top prospect who was expected to be drafted by the Steelheads just months ago.
Adams' decision to reject the Steelheads' selection and join the Sudbury Wolves has been attributed to his family's desire to keep him close to home.
