Niagara Falls, NY-  Head Coach Larry Brzeczkowski is pleased to announce that the team has received a commitment from  defenseman Patrick Martin (Farmingville, NY/ Long Island Royals MJHL Jr. B) . Martin is tremendously gifted blueliner who finished the season sixth in scoring among all defensemen in the MJHL North with 31 points (10g, 21a) in 39 games for his junior team.
 
The 5'11 180lbs defenseman was originally scouted by Assistant Coach Brandon Wright during his time watching several days worth of junior hockey in the Long Island area. The newest Eagle will join the already veteran Niagara blue line which is lead by Kevin Morrison, Patrick Roth, and Kevin Zola. Martin will join former teammate and fellow recruit George Antzoulis (Maspeth, NY) as the top two blue line recruits for the team.
 
"We had some big shoes to fill on our blue line left by graduation" commented Associate Coach Clay Miller, "Patrick will help fill these holes. With the addition of Patrick and George along with the great talent we already have on the team, our blue line is young, talented, and are going to continue to grow in to what we all think will be one of the best defensive cores in the ECHL...We filled some holes through recruiting that were left by graduation and we were quite pleased by how several of last years freshman grew throughout the season."
 
Martin is currently undecided on his course of studies.

 

George Antzoluis (Maspeth, NY/ Long Island Royals MJHL Jr. B) has verbally committed to join the Purple Eagles ACHA team for the 2009-2010 season. George who is 6' 3", 200 lbs, is a solid stay at home defenseman who will add size and toughness to the Purple Eagle's blue line.

Antzoluis has played in  41 games for the Royals so far this season accumulating 11 points (3g,8a) and 146 minutes in penalties. It was during his on campus visit and skate with the team that Antzoluis impressed the coaching staff and was offered a roster spot for the next season at the conclusion of his trip.

Head Coach Larry Brzeczkowski who has had a long tradition of recruiting players from the tri-state area is excited at the prospects of having two very talented hockey players from a well respected organization such as the Long Island Royals joining next years recruiting class.

George plans on studying Business Management while at Niagara.
