ROANOKE, VA. - The Rail Yard Dawgs announced Thursday that Sammy Bernard has signed a training camp agreement with the organization.

Bernard was claimed off of waivers by the Dawgs on March 3 last season, and became a major contributor during Roanoke's journey to the SPHL President's Cup Final. The six-foot-five goalie played in 13 SPHL games this season between Roanoke, Quad City, and Knoxville, notching a 7-2-0 record with a 2.44 goals against average and a .921 save percentage.
