Ice Acquires Playmaker
October 10, 2003 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Indianapolis Ice News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, IN-- The Indianapolis Ice announced today that the team has acquired centerman Dave Gilmore from the Laredo Bucks for future considerations.
Gilmore, 29, ranked third in scoring last season for Laredo with 71 points (27G, 44A) in 56 games. He was tied for second on the team in plus/minus (+23) and power play goals (10) and tied for first on the team in game-winning goals (6).
Offense has been his forte in his six professional seasons as the talented playmaker has averaged well over a point a game with 229 points (87G, 142A) in just 207 contests. Pro stops have included the Western Professional Hockey League (WPHL), United Hockey League (UHL), CHL and three games with St. John's in the American Hockey League (AHL).
"Dave will be a welcome addition down the middle for us," said Ice Head Coach Ken McRae. "He is coming off back to back 70+ point seasons and hopefully he can continue his success by centering one of our two lines of talented wingers.
Before turning pro, Gilmore lit up the offensive charts in college and in juniors. He was the top scorer in back to back seasons for St. Thomas University (Canadian University) from 1997-99 and was a big-time point producer for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) from 1991-1995. He registered 117 points (48G, 69A) in one season with London which was second behind current NHL All-Star Jason Allison of the Los Angeles Kings.
The Indianapolis Ice launches its 16th season of hockey in the "Circle City" on Saturday, October 18th when the team hosts the Shreveport Mudbugs at 7:00 p.m. from the Pepsi Coliseum.
