January 15, 2003 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
WHEELING, WV â The Wheeling Nailers announce today that goaltender David Chant has been reassigned to the Nailers by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League.
Chant began the season with the Nailers and was assigned to the Adirondak IceHawks of the United Hockey League when the Nailers acquired Tyler MacKay. Chant was reassigned to Wheeling to fill the void created by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins recalling goalie Mike Valley.
Chant appeared in nine games with the Nailers in the first half of the season. While with the IceHawks he appeared in two games. Chant will not be in uniform for the next several games as he was slightly injured during a practice upon his return to the Nailers. To take the place of Chant on the Nailers roster will be Matt Huemrich. Huemrich played two seasons of collegiate hockey at Ohio State University during the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons.
To make room on the roster the Nailers have placed defenseman Mark Moore on the injured reserve list. Moore has been out of the line-up for several weeks with concussion symptoms.
The Nailers are in Richmond Wednesday night and return home Friday against the Reading Royals and Saturday against the Dayton Bombers. Both games are at 7:30p.m. at the Wheeling Civic Center. Call the Nailers at 234-4625 or toll free at 1-877-NAIL-TIX for ticket information.
