CALGARY, AB - Calgary Roughnecks President and General Manager Brad Banister announced today that the club has signed Peter McFetridge and Joel Henry to one year deals. Terms of the deals were not disclosed and are subject to league approval.

McFetridge, a 23-year-old defender, tallied three points (3g) in seven regular season games with the Roughnecks last season. In that time, the six-foot-three, 195 pound defenceman also collected 25 loose balls.

During the summer months, McFetridge plays alongside the New Westminster Sr. Salmonbellies. In 15 games with the Salmonbellies last season, the native of Vancouver, BC recorded 14 points, including six goals and eight assists. Henry, who is a product of Cochrane, AB, spent time on the Roughnecks practice roster last season, but didn't see any floor time.
