Lakers Swing Deal to Bring Hometown Forward Cam Milligan Home In Trade

The Peterborough Century 21 Lakers made a last-minute deal with Cobourg prior to the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) trade deadline, sending Cole Hanrahan and a 2024 third-round draft pick to the Kodiaks in exchange for Peterborough’s Cam Milligan on Saturday.

The right-handed forward is the second Peterborough player the Lakers have acquired in trades this season alongside defender Colton Armstrong in June. Milligan has yet to play for Cobourg this season as he committed to the Sr. B Oakville Rock who are hosting the President’s Cup in August.

Milligan debuted in the MSL with the Lakers in 2013 as a Junior A call-up and spent parts of two seasons with Peterborough before being traded to Cobourg before the 2019 season. 

Hanrahan was a Huntsville native and is a Trent University grad currently playing with the Ennismore James Gang. He appeared in one game for the Lakers this season. 

Paul Day, Lakers general manager said both Milligan and Hanrahan will remain with their Sr. B clubs but will have the option to play in the MSL.  

“Oakville wants to continue to use Milligan but it helps us because we have two roster spots open,” said Day. 

Milligan is eligible to be in Thursday’s lineup against his former squad, the Cobourg Kodiaks at the Memorial Centre at 8 p.m.
