Colorado Eagles News Release
LOVELAND, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles, proud affiliate of the NHL's Winnipeg Jets & the AHL's St. John's IceCaps, announced today that forward Michael Forney has been reassigned to the Eagles from the Texas Stars of the AHL, to whom he was sent as part of a trade on March 2.
In 11 games with the Stars, Forney registered a pair of points (1-1-2) and two penalty minutes, bringing his AHL totals this season -- also spent three games with the IceCaps -- to two points in 14 games.
