Colorado Eagles News Release


WINDSOR, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles announced today that they have signed rookie forward Matthew Glasser, a product of the University of Denver and a 7th-Round draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers in 2005. Glasser joins the CHL's reigning MVP, Kevin Ulanski, as former DU Pioneers on the Eagles' roster.

In 133 games over four seasons at DU, the 5-foot-10-inch, 185-pound two-way forward collected 21 points (13-8-21) and 60 penalty minutes. Glasser was named an alternate captain last season, adding leadership to a resume that reflects strong academic success as well -- highlighted by winning the Dr. Art Mason Award as DU hockey's top scholar/athlete the past two years (co-winning last season).

Prior to his time in Denver, Glasser spent three seasons with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. In those three seasons, the Calgary, Alberta native racked up 109 points (53-56-109) and 74 PIMs. He was named the Oil Barons' Rookie of The Year in 2003-04, led the Barons in scoring in 2004-05 (also earning AJHL First-Team All-Star honors) and was a part of their AJHL championship team in 2005-06.

The signing brings the number of players under contract with the team for their upcoming camp to 16 (listed below).

The puck drops on the 2010-11 season on Saturday, Oct. 9 when the Eagles take on the Odessa Jackalopes in a preseason game at the Budweiser Events Center; the regular season begins on Friday, Oct. 15. Tickets for all Eagles home games will go on sale Saturday, Sept. 25 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased by visiting the BEC Box Office, calling 1-877-544-TIXX (8499) or online at www.ComcastTix.com.
