Greenville Grrrowl News Release
GREENVILLE, SC - The Greenville Grrrowl of the ECHL, proud affiliates of the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers, have announced that defenseman VLADIMIR GUSEV has been returned to Greenville from Norfolk, and he is expected to play in Friday night's game at the BI-LO Center against the Charlotte Checkers.
A fourth round selection of the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2001 draft, Gusev played in two games for Norfolk on March 27th and March 30th. He registered two shots with the Admirals while picking up six PIMs with a plus/minus rating of -1. Gusev played 10 games with Norfolk last season, notching one assist and 10 penalty minutes. This season with Greenville, the 6-3, 205-pound defenseman has set career highs in goals (7), assists (11), points (18), and PIMs (101) through 64 games. The native of Novosibirsk, Russia is a +10 rating since February 28th.
The Grrrowl have also announced that they will begin a FAN APPRECIATION MERCHANDISE SALE this weekend, with discounts on t-shirts, sweatshirts, fleece jackets and watches. Discounts are available while supplies last, and the sale will run through the remaining regular season games and into the playoffs. Visit the Fan Wear Booth located outside of section 117 for full details.
The Grrrowl have two home games this weekend, hosting Charlotte on Friday and Florida on Saturday.
