The Coquitlam Express has traded 2001-born forward Curtis Hammond to the Melfort Mustangs of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League for future considerations.

Hammond spent the past two seasons in the Alberta Junior Hockey League split between the Grande Prairie Storm and the Bonnyville Pontiacs. He managed five goals and 17 points in 47 AJHL games.

The Express acquired Hammond on June 1 to complete a trade with Grande Prairie at the Feb. 25 trade deadline.
