Alpena IceDiggers News Release

Alpena MI: The Alpena IceDiggers announced today the club has added goaltender Matt Ferraro. Ferraro started the 2007-2008 season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the British Columbia Hockey League.

"We felt we needed to bring in a new guy, not all of our defensive struggles have not been a result of our goaltending but we think we can be better in goal and that is why we have added Matt." said GM/head coach Kenny Miller

The Trail BC native played in ten games for Cowichan Valley recording a record of 4-3. Ferraro started the season with three straight wins for the Capitals. Prior to playing in the BCHL the 19-year-old spent three seasons playing Junior "B" in Canada two with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and one with the Castlegar Rebels in the KIJHL.

Ferraro arrived in Alpena (9-8-1 19 points) for practice on Tuesday and will travel with the team this weekend to Marquette (10-7-0 20 points) for a two game set against the Rangers Friday and Saturday. Both games start at 7:30PM at Lakeview Arena.

"As an organization we are always trying to make our hockey team better and by adding Matt we think we have done that." added Miller. "We will take a hard look at our goaltending situation and make a decision that is best for the entire club."

Matt's father Ray spent 18 years playing in the National Hockey League (NHL) and his younger bother Landon (16) is a member of the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League (WHL)
