Greensboro Generals News Release


Greensboro, NC — The Greensboro Generals of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) has announced goaltender Sebastien Centomo (sen-TOE-moe) has been reassigned to the club by their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate St. John's Maple Leafs. Centomo will suit up for the Generals tomorrow night at 7:00 when they host the South Carolina Stingrays. The game can be heard on WPET AM950 and www.greensborogenerals.com.

Centomo, 22, has spent this entire season in St. John's, posting a 7-10-1 record with a 3.90 goals against average and an .878 save percentage. The 6'1", 195-pound netminder made a name for himself last season as a rookie. He started the season in the Central Hockey League with the Memphis River Kings, where he posted a spectacular 16-1-0 record with a 2.09 goals against average and .934 save percentage. From there, the Laval, Quebec native earned a call up to St. John's, where he garnered a 12-7-4 mark with a 2.52 goals against average and .926 save percentage. Centomo even played in one game for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season (no decision) before leading the "Baby" Leafs to the Calder Cup quarterfinals, picking up a 4-6 record, a 2.52 goals against average and two shutouts, while playing in all eleven of their playoff games.

"We won't lose a step having Sebastien between the pipes" says Generals head coach Rick Adduono (ah-DOO-no). "He's already proven he belongs in the American Hockey League, and he'll keep proving that with every game he plays for the Generals."

The Generals also announced today that center David Del Monte has left the club to play in Italy for the remainder of the season. Del Monte had six points, all assists, in 13 games with the Generals this season. The Generals have officially placed Del Monte on the team suspended list.

The Generals back up tomorrow's game against the Stingrays with another home game on Thursday night at 7:00 against the Roanoke Express. Ticket prices range from $10.00 - $17.00, with tickets as low as $8.00 for students and seniors. Generals Flex Plans for six, twelve, and 18 games are also available for as little as $50.00.
