Roster Update: Gaumond In, Gottfried Out

The Pronghorns were in need of a reliable and experienced replacement as they prepare to face a competitive field in Burnaby, and they found their man.

Stepping into the lineup is Mikael Gaumond, who brings valuable league experience and a strong competitive edge from his trip to the finals last season with the Brewers.

What Gaumond Brings to the Pronghorns

Gaumond's addition gives the Pronghorns a proven performer who knows what it takes to compete at the CNPL level. His familiarity with high-pressure matches and ability to adapt quickly will be crucial as the Pronghorns look to make a statement at the Western Split.

Key attributes Gaumond brings:

  • CNPL experience: One full season with the Brewers

  • Adaptability: Known for quick adjustment to new team dynamics

Looking Ahead

With this latest roster move, the Pronghorns continue to demonstrate their adaptability and commitment to fielding a competitive squad, no matter the circumstances.
