The Victoria Shamrocks added speedy, shutdown defender Jon Harnett in a trade with the Coquitlam Adanacs on Tuesday.
The Ads get a 2014 second round pick in the Western Lacrosse Association draft.
Harnett joins his brother Greg, a transition player for the Shamrocks. Jon won the Jr. A Minto Cup against the Jr. Rocks in 2008. The Rocks’ next game is against the Ads in Coquitlam tomorrow (July 6).
