The Elmira Jackals, 2003-2004 United Hockey League Eastern Conference Champions, announced today that they have re-signed Jamie Thompson for the 2004-2005 season. Thompson will play his second season for the Jackals after leading the team in playoff goals and points last season.
For the 2003-2004 Regular Season Thompson scored 20 goals with 29 assists for 49 points in only 51 games played. He chipped in with 9 goals and eleven assists during the playoffs. Thompson was reunited with Head Coach Todd Brost last year; the two were paired for consecutive WPHL championship seasons in El Paso.
