HOUSTON, Texas - The National Hockey League's Minnesota Wild has assigned RW Matt Foy to the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League, the teams announced Wednesday. The Wild also recalled RW Joel Ward from the Aeros. In addition, the Aeros have signed C Marco Rosa to a professional tryout, and recalled LW Mark Rooneem from ECHL Texas. Rooneem will be activated if Foy does not make it to the arena in time for the game. The Aeros play host to Manitoba tonight at 7:05 p.m.
Foy, 23 (5/18/83), is the Aeros' leading scorer with 22 points (11-11=22) in 20 games. He has also played nine games with the Wild, registering four penalty minutes. Foy was Minnesota's sixth-round pick (No. 175 overall) in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.
