Kamloops, BC - Craig Bonner, the Vice President and General Manager of the Kamloops Blazers Hockey Club, has announced today that the Club has signed 20 year old defenseman Corey Fienhage to a standard WHL contract.
"Corey is a big physical defenseman who felt that the WHL was the best route for him in order to prepare himself to play pro hockey," said Craig Bonner. "He is a mobile defenseman that will have an opportunity to play an important role with our hockey club," he stated. "Anytime you can add a player who is a highly touted pro prospect it is a benefit to your team," added Bonner.
Fienhage was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the 3rd round, 81st overall in the 2008 NHL Draft.
The 6'3" 215lb right shot defenseman has spent the last two seasons with the North Dakota Fighting Sioux in NCAA Division 1 hockey. Prior to joining the Fighting Sioux, the Apple Valley Minnesota native played high school hockey and also in the United States Hockey League for the Indiana Ice.
"Corey is excited to be a Kamloops Blazer," continued Bonner. "We look forward to seeing him in a Blazer uniform this upcoming season," he concluded.
