Gabriel Bitar is leaving Cavalry to return to Carleton University for the 2019 season. The right move for Bitar as he would not have seen minutes, and Pepple will snap up any additional minutes he could get for the remainder of the season. I was actually surprised Tommy signed him, as my understanding was he didn't rate him that much given what attacking players were already signed.
Oddly enough the player Bitar beat out for that last roster spot, Easton Ongaro, is the leagues hottest scorer right now. Ongaro would not have seen any more action with Cavalry than Bitar received, so Tommy let him sign with Edmonton in a case of "do what's best for the player".
I doubt he will be back. Willy Akio, you're up next.
