Grand Rapids Griffins News Release


The Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday re-signed right wing Jamie Tardif to a one-year contract.

Tardif, 25, is preparing for his fifth season as a member of the Grand Rapids Griffins after serving as the team's captain in 2009-10. He tallied 16 goals and 33 points in 77 games last season, falling just one shy of his AHL career high in each scoring category while matching his personal bests with 17 assists and 90 penalty minutes.

In four seasons with Grand Rapids, Tardif has totaled 100 points (51-49-100) and 241 PIM in 239 contests, ranking among the franchise's all-time leaders in games played (10th) and shots (602, 5th). His name is sprinkled throughout the Griffins' record book, as he holds the franchise marks for fastest goal to start a game or period (:08), most goals in a period (three, tied), and most power play goals in a period (two, tied). He also has a pair of hat tricks to his credit, making him one of only 10 Griffins to log multiple three-goal games.

Originally the fourth pick of the Calgary Flames in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Tardif signed his first NHL contract, a two-year entry-level deal with the Red Wings, on April 15, 2008.
