Manns moved to Victoria for Vaesen and Manning

In a blockbuster trade the Nanaimo Timbermen have traded Zach Manns to the Victoria Shamrocks in exchange for Thomas Vaesen and Noah Manning.

Vaesen was a Junior Timbermen standout who has been a strong offensive contributor in the WLA with Langley and Victoria. 

He has 123 points in 44 career games.

Noah Manning has been a dynamic player in the BCJALL with Victoria and Coquitlam. 

In 39 games he scored 145 career points and helped the A's win the 2024 Minto Cup.

Manns is a former WLA co-MVP and will join ex Nanaimo captain Nate Wade in Victoria this season.

Vaesen and Manning will play huge roles in the Timbermen offence in 2025.
