[FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.] - The Fayetteville FireAntz of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) announced today that the club has re-signed forward Chris Ferguson and forward/defenseman David Dartsch. The signings bring the total number of players under contract to eleven.

Ferguson, a 6'0'', 200 pound forward from Brockville, Ontario rejoins the FireAntz after joining the club via a trade last season. In 18 games played, Ferguson had a goal, four assists and 71 penalty minutes. He also had three assists in three games played in the playoffs.

"Several people that I've spoken with have talked very highly of Chris's abilities." Head Coach John Marks said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing him compete."

Dartsch, a 5'11'', 195 pound forward/defenseman from Pointe-Claire, Quebec begins his first season with the FireAntz. A veteran, Dartsch has spent the majority of his career between the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) and United Hockey League (UHL).

"David is veteran that brings a lot of experience." Marks added, "The fact that he's versatile, he can play wing or defense, is an added bonus that should be a great asset to our hockey club."
