HARTFORD, March 21, 2011: Connecticut Whale general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the team has agreed to terms with forward Kale Kerbashian on an AHL contract for next season, and that Kerbashian will be added to the Whale's current roster on an Amateur Tryout (ATO) agreement.
The 5-11, 173-pound Kerbashian comes to the Whale from the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). In 68 games with the Sting this season, Kerbashian, a 20-year-old native of Thunder Bay, Ontario scored 37 goals and added 51 assists for 88 points, while serving 52 minutes in penalties. His point and goal totals were both good for second on the Sting club, and Kerbashian finished tied for tenth among all OHL skaters in points.
In 2009-10, Kerbashian led the Sarnia squad in points, goals and assists, with 26-30-56, despite playing in only 58 of the team's 68 games. He also saw his first career pro action last season, skating in four ECHL games with the Wheeling Nailers and chipping in two goals and an assist for three points.
In 252 career OHL games over five seasons with the London Knights, Mississauga St. Michael's Majors and Sting, Kerbashian totaled 87 goals and 120 assists for 207 points, along with 157 penalty minutes.
