Florida Everblades News Release


Estero, FL - Florida Everblades head coach Gerry Fleming announced today that the team has signed forward Jonas Fiedler to a contract. Fiedler comes to the Everblades after beginning the season with the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League.

The 20-year-old rookie skated in 61 games with the Whalers this season, notching 37 points (19g, 18a) and amassing 71 penalty minutes. "Jonas is a Hurricanes draft pick that we feel is ready to showcase his abilities at the professional level." Fleming said Thursday. "He is a strong skater and utilizes his size to fit the power forward role."

The former 8th round draft pick by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2004 has spent the previous four years playing with Plymouth. In 255 career games with the Whalers, the native of the Czech Republic scored 131 points (52g, 79a). Fiedler's best season came in 2003-04 when he picked up 46 points in 63 games. In addition, Fielder has tallied 22 points in 33 career playoff games with the Whalers.

Prior to the Hurricanes drafting Fielder, the San Jose Sharks selected the 6-foot-2 winger in the 3rd round of the 2002 NHL entry draft.
