The Lakers obtained assets through a prior trade before being dealt from Cobourg. The team traded defenceman Caleb Creasor and future considerations to the Brooklin Lacrosse Club for Austin Murphy. He was flipped with future considerations to the Cobourg Kodiaks for Armstrong and a 2024 second-round pick.
“Armstrong is a top right-handed transition player in the NLL for the Halifax Thunderbirds,” said Paul Day, Lakers general manager. “We need more goals from our transition game. It’s great to bring a Peterborough guy, who will make an immediate impact.”
“As soon as I walk on the floor I’ll make sure to take it all in,” said Armstrong. “I’ll show them who I am and why I belong there. Hopefully I can help out and bring another Mann Cup home to Peterborough. I’m looking forward to the opportunity that Paul Day and Kodiaks’ GM John Webb have given me to come back home and play for my hometown.”
