The Niagara IceDogs were busy on and off the ice Sunday.

The IceDogs topped the Windsor Spitfires 5-2 in Ontario Hockey League action at Meridian Centre, then announced a huge swap with the North Bay Battalion that netted them a goaltender and five draft picks.

Defenceman Bronson Ride, who was a scratch in Sunday’s game, is headed to the Battalion in exchange for goaltender Charlie Robertson, a third-round pick in 2026 (NB), a third-round pick in 2027 (NB), and fourth-round pick in 2026 (NB), a fourth-round pick in 2027 (NB) and a ninth-round pick in 2024 (SAG).

Robertson, 18, has played 12 games this year and holds a 4-2-3 record with a 3.73 goals-against average and .885 save percentage. The London native is in his second OHL season and was initially drafted in the seventh round (130th) overall by the Battalion in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection. Before his time in the OHL, Robertson spent one season at Ridley College. He is the grandson of Beth and Tom Rankin of Rankin Construction.

“Niagara is excited to have Charlie Robertson in our room, this is something that works well for our future,” Niagara interim general manager Wes Consorti said.

Ride, who turns 19 next week, had two goals and nine points in 35 games.

IceDogs coach Ben Boudreau hinted some roster shuffling may be in the cards when asked about the Jan. 10 trade deadline following the game.
