West Valley City, Utah - Utah Grizzlies Head Coach Jason Christie today released his roster for the 2005-2006 training camp, which opens Sunday at the Acord Ice Center. Included on the roster: the ECHL's all-time leading scorer Louis Dumont, 2002-2003 ECHL Goaltender of the Year Alfie Michaud, 13 players with playoff experience in professional hockey, and two players from Utah in D.J. Jelitto and Seth Libby.

Among those joining Dumont as forwards will be: Anthony Battaglia who led the Mississippi Sea Wolves in goals scored last season (27) and multi-point games (17); Jeff Miles was voted an American Conference All-Star in 2005, putting up 38 points (19g, 19a) in 37 games with the Reading Royals of the ECHL, while spending 28 games with the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL.

On the blue line: Tom Reimann was voted an ECHL All-Star in 2004 while playing with Greensboro; Ian Forbes was a 2nd round selection (51st overall) of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1998 entry draft, and a member of the Florida Everblades team in 2004 that finished as the Kelly Cup Champion runner-up.

Alfie Michaud will anchor things between the pipes after winning 29 games last year in Peoria (ECHL) and Worcester (AHL) where he set a career high with six total shutouts. Netminder Justin Eddy, who signed with the Washington Capitals of the NHL following college at Quinnipiac University in 2004, appeared in 37 games in 2004-2005 with South Carolina (ECHL) and Portland (AHL). Goalie David Cann was named the ECHL's Saver of the Week for the week of February 14-20 last year, after spending training camp with Bridgeport (AHL).

The 21-year old Jelitto, a native of West Valley City, returns home after playing three years of junior hockey. During the 2003-2004 season, he led the Soo Thunderbirds of the NOJHL in scoring and was named the league's Player of the Week twice. Libby comes to training camp after three years between the pipes at Weber State.

Opening night at the E-Center is Friday, October 21 when Utah hosts Phoenix at 7:05 p.m. Season Tickets for the upcoming season are on sale now by calling (801) 988-PUCK.
