Victoria, BC - The Victoria Salmon Kings, proud affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose, announced today that they have signed forward Jeremy Schenderling for the 2008-09 season.
The
6-2, 200lb right winger is entering his second professional season
after splitting last season with both the Columbia Inferno and the
Augusta Lynx. In a combined 47 games he counted 23 points (9g-14a) and
earned 46 minutes in penalties. In the playoffs with Columbia, the
22-year-old played in six games and was assessed six minutes in
penalties.
"Jeremy provides us with a little bit of everything,"
General Manager and Head coach Mark Morrision said. "He will bring
energy to our team, but he is more than just a hard worker. He is a
good skater who will put the puck in the net and provide a physical
presence when he's on the ice."
The Langley, BC native spent
parts of six seasons in the WHL with both the Kootenay Ice and Swift
Current Broncos. During his junior career he played in 321 games and
collected 66 goals and 54 assists for 120 points and picked up 385
minutes in penalties.
