Kyle\u2019s nineteen. King is going for it. They\u2019re looking at Kyle Baston as a key piece of a championship team. This gives us more minutes for the kids to play and develop. When we do the analytics, they tell us that the young players can\u2019t be stuck behind older players and lose ice time. That\u2019s why we released Lars and Parker today, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers\u2019 loss is certainly the Rebellion\u2019s gain and King Head Coach Mark Joslin was pleased by the acquisition of Baston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a big, strong guy and such a great skater. We need to get a little tougher as a hockey club. Kyle can play on the wing or at centre. He adds depth and versatility. We like what we see. Kyle has such good character. My assistant coaches are raving about how well Kyle fits in with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baston, a prototypical, hard-checking power forward, scored 5 goals and 3 assists in 11 games this season for the Tigers.&nbsp; He was the club\u2019s fifth-ranked scorer and one of the team\u2019s Assistant Captains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the Aurora Tigers organization praised Baston\u2019s contributions over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter 66 games as a Tiger and assistant captain this year, we would like to thank Kyle for everything on and off the ice as a Tiger. The Tigers organization would like to wish him the best of luck in King. Thank you, Kyle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Jim Stewart<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35245&#038;t=Veteran%20Tiger%20Kyle%20Baston%20traded%20to%20the%20King%20Rebellion&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35245&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Veteran%20Tiger%20Kyle%20Baston%20traded%20to%20the%20King%20Rebellion\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35245&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Veteran%20Tiger%20Kyle%20Baston%20traded%20to%20the%20King%20Rebellion&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F35245\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aurora Tigers\u2019 youth movement took another leap forward on Wednesday when veteran forward Kyle Baston was traded to the King Rebellion for cash considerations.
