August 25, 2008 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Colorado Eagles News Release
WINDSOR, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles announced today that forward Kevin Ulanski (pronounced: YOU-lan-ski) - a former University of Denver Pioneer - has signed with the team for the upcoming season. Ulanski, who joins defenseman Erik Adams as DU alum on the team's roster, served as an assistant captain on the Pioneers' back-to-back national championship teams in 2004 and 2005.
Ulanski, a Madison, Wisconsin native, has spent the past three seasons split among three different leagues (the UHL, ECHL and AHL) - including 40 games in the AHL last year. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound winger finished the 2007-08 season with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL, posting 24 points (6-16-24) in 37 games.
Since turning pro, Ulanski has registered 125 points (45-80-125) in 217 career games. His best season statistically came in 2006-07 when he scored 66 points (26-40-66) in 61 games for the Rockford IceHogs of the UHL and another two assists in 13 games with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL. Ulanski has also excelled in the postseason, averaging a point-per-game in 22 career playoff contests.
"I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to Colorado," said Ulanski. "The Eagles are obviously a team that's established a winning tradition, and I love to win. Hopefully I can help them win another championship."
The defending Northern Conference champion Colorado Eagles open the 2008-09 season with a home game against the expansion Rapid City Rush on October 17. Tickets for all home dates at the Budweiser Events Center will go on sale September 20 and can be purchased through the Budweiser Events Center box office, www.ComcastTix.com, 1-877-544-TIXX (8499), the Eagles' Office in Water Valley or through any ComcastTIX Outlet.
