Springfield Falcons News Release


Springfield, MA – The Springfield Falcons, American Hockey League affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning, today announced that the club has signed goaltender Jamie Storr (JAY-mee STOHR). The 10-year NHL veteran will report to the club tonight for the beginning of the team's training camp. As per club policy, terms of the agreement are not being disclosed.

Storr, who played nine seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, ranks high on many of the NHL franchise's all-time lists. The native of Brampton, Ontario registered the second-best goals against average (2.52) in Kings' history during his tenure with the club. He ranks fourth all-time with Los Angeles in wins (85) and second in shutouts (16).

The 6-2, 192-pound netminder signed with Carolina prior to last season and split the campaign between the Hurricanes and their AHL affiliate, the Lowell Lock Monsters.

"Storr brings us a goaltender with a great deal of NHL experience which will be an important factor to the team's success on the ice this season," said Falcons President and General Manager Bruce Landon.

Storr was selected in the first round with the seventh overall choice in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, becoming the Kings' highest-drafted goaltender in team history. He was named to the NHL's All-Rookie Team for both the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons. During the 1998-99 campaign, Storr recorded a 2.40 GAA, the best by a Kings' goalie since 1974-75 (Gary Edwards). Limited to 19 games during the 2001-02 season due to injury, Storr posted a 9-4-3 record, 1.90 GAA, and .922 save percentage (SV%).

In 219 NHL games during his career, Storr has registered a record of 85-86-23, 2.54 GAA, and .908 SV%.

During Storr's junior career, he was named the Ontario Hockey League's Goaltender of the Year for 1993-94 and backstopped Team Canada to gold medals at the World Junior Championships in 1994 and 1995.
