COLUMBUS, GA - The Columbus River Dragons announced a host of roster moves today ahead of the team's home opener against the Mississippi Sea Wolves tonight at 7:35 pm.
First, forward Jay Croop has returned from the injured reserve list while forward Carson Andreoli was moved to the 15-day IR retroactive to November 10. Andreoli would be eligible to return on November 25 at the Carolina Thunderbirds.
Next the team announced the loan of goaltender Tyler Roy to the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs of the SPHL and the loan of defenseman Michael Greco to the Evansville Thunderbolts of the SPHL as well.
Finally, the team has traded forward Steven Klinck to the Elmira River Sharks for future considerations.
This year's new maximum roster size of 19 players has forced more frequent player movement in order to maintain the league limits of no less than six rookies per team, and no more than five veterans dressed in any game.
