June 24, 2014 - ECHL (ECHL)
Greenville Swamp Rabbits News Release
Greenville, SC: Today the Greenville Road Warriors, proud ECHL affiliate of the New York Rangers, announced the first two signings of the offseason with the additions of forwards Chad Nehring and Michael Catenacci.
"Chad is the type of player who can play a solid two-way game and has incredible face-off skills," Road Warriors Head Coach Dean Stork commented. "He leads by example with his relentless work ethic and physical presence in the corners and in front of the net. It is not easy to find this a player who has both great scoring touch and a willingness to do what it takes to stand up for his teammates. We are excited to add a player of Chad's caliber to the Road Warriors family."
Nehring, 27, led the Las Vegas Wranglers with 22 goals in only 49 games last season. The Springside, Saskatoon native also collected 20 assists ranking him second on the team in points. Nehring's professional career began with the Idaho Steelheads for one full season in 2011-12. He moved on to play in the CHL with the Arizona Sundogs in 2012-13 for 66 games and led the team with 33 goals and 57 points. The Lake Superior State University product played 147 collegiate games with the Lakers from 2007-2011 posting 30 goals and 23 assists.
"Michael is a talented centerman who sees the ice very well and knows how to find the open area," Stork continued. "His shiftiness makes it hard to steal the puck from him. He is a threat every time he enters the offensive zone. We anticipate him stepping in and being a great addition to the Road Warriors' offensive game."
Catenacci split last season between the Orlando Solar Bears and Vipiteno, a team in the Italian Elite League. While with the Solar Bears, the 23-year-old scored five goals and amassed 17 assists in 32 games. Catenacci played 234 games with the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL from 2008-2012. He totaled 64 goals and 108 assists during the four year stint but his most impressive season came in the final year when he finished second in scoring with 69 points in just 52 games. Catenacci was born in Woodbridge, Ontario.
