Express Re-Sign Rockhold
February 4, 2009 - American Indoor Football Association (AIFA)
Reading Express News Release
Reading Express GM/Head Coach Bernie Nowotarski announced today that he has re-signed three year Express kicker and Appalachian State Grad Erik Rockhold.
Erik has been with the Express from the beginning and holds every kicking record in the franchises history as well being the franchises leading scorer. Rock in his first season, 2006 was the League's Special Teams Player of the Year.
Erik is a 5'9" 190lb kicker and has been given the nickname here in Reading as "The Rouge", stemming from his accuracy on kick-offs going through the opposite end field goal post, which in the AIFA is good for one point.
"It's said that every game is broken down into three categories, Offense, Defense and Special Teams. Having a veteran kicker like "Rock" handling our special team duties is something that makes my special teams coach job much easier" commented Nowotarski.
Erik currently resides in Reading and works full time at Berks Fire Water Restorations as an electrician.
