鈥淲e had an opportunity to add another defenceman and with Zablocki out for at least 10 more days it was an opportunity to get a player in here and have a look at him,鈥� said Rockets general manager Bruce Hamilton. 鈥淲e currently have five right-handed defenceman and we needed to get a left handed guy in here to help out with some of the young players that are playing on their off-side. That鈥檚 the main reason why we鈥檝e looked at this. He鈥檚 going to come in and we鈥檙e going to give him a chance to show us what he can do. He is a big, heavy guy that isn鈥檛 afraid to get involved physically which is something I think we need also.鈥�
The Rockets sent a 10th round selection in the 2020 WHL Bantam Draft to Medicine Hat in exchange for Gally.
