GLENS FALLS, NY - The Adirondack Frostbite, proud members of the United Hockey League, announced today that the team has re-signed defenseman Scott Drevitch for the 2005-06 season. As per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

This season marks Drevitch's third in an Adirondack sweater. In the previous two seasons, he has played in all 156 games, posting 23 goals and 96 assists for 119 points. Last season, Drevitch led all UHL defensemen in points (61) and assists (48), while finishing tied for third among blueliners in goals (13). He was also named to the UHL All-Star Classic in Glens Falls, the eighth consecutive season he has played in an All-Star Game.

"Scott has always set the bar for defensemen in this league," Frostbite General Manager and Head Coach Marc Potvin said. "His dedication and desire to win at all costs is what makes him so valuable. We look forward to Scott being the backbone of our defense again this season."
