Rosemont, IL - The Chicago Wolves have re-signed center MATT ANDERSON, a member of the 2008 Calder Cup Championship team.
The
25-year-old forward notched two points (G, A) and four penalty minutes
in 11 Calder Cup Playoff games en route to helping Chicago capture its
fourth league title this spring. He also collected three goals and five
points in eight Kelly Cup Playoff matchups with the ECHL's Gwinnett
Gladiators prior to being recalled by the Wolves following that team's
elimination in the South Division Semifinals.
The West Islip,
N.Y., native, split the 2007-08 season between the Wolves and
Gladiators, accruing two points (G, A) in 14 games with Chicago and 29
points (14G, 15A) in 37 games with Gwinnett.
ANDERSON made his
professional debut during the Wolves run to the Western Conference
Final in 2007 after being signed to an Amateur Tryout Contract. He
appeared in 13 of the team's 15 postseason games, recording two points
(G, A), which includes netting the game-winning goal in Game 2 of the
West Division Semifinal against the Milwaukee Admirals, his first
professional outing.
Prior to joining Chicago, he amassed 57
assists and 91 points in 128 career outings with the University of
Massachusetts-Amherst (Hockey East), spanning four seasons (2002-03; 2004-07).
In accordance with team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
