Colorado Eagles News Release
WINDSOR, CO â The Colorado Eagles announced today the club has been assigned two (2) players from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League, the top developmental team for the Colorado Avalanche. Goaltender Tyler Weiman and left wing David Svagrovsky were assigned today and will arrive in Colorado this weekend Eagles Vice President/ Head Coach Chris Stewart made the announcement.
Weiman, 20, a Colorado Avalanche draft pick in 2002, played in one exhibition game for the Bears during the 2004 training camp. He played in Hershey's game against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last Saturday allowing two goals. Prior to this season's training camp, the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native played major junior hockey for the Tri-City Americans in the Western Hockey League (WHL). In 2003-04, Weiman had his finest season as a junior posting career bests for wins (23), goals against average (2.66), and save percentage (.913). In the last two seasons, Weiman was the goaltender for 39 of Tri-City's 51 wins.
Svagrovsky, 19, an Avalanche draft pick in 2003, played in two exhibition games for the Bears in this year's training camp tallying one assist before coming to the Eagles. For the past two seasons, the Prague, Czech Republic native has played for the Seattle Thunderbirds also in the WHL. In 2002-03, Svagrovsky netted 42 points (17G, 25A) in just 68 games with the Thunderbirds. Svagrovsky is a left wing that will bring size and speed to the Eagles offensive unit.
