Indianapolis Ice News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, IN-- The Indianapolis Ice announced today that the team has acquired the rights to left winger Corey Waring from the El Paso Buzzards to complete a January trade which sent centerman Chris MacKenzie to El Paso.
Waring, 26, is coming off his best professional season as he finished third on the Buzzards in scoring with 60 points (27G, 33A) to go along with 48 penalty minutes. Scoring was done in every fashion for the Brantford, Ontario native as ten of his 27 goals came on special teams, including a league-leading five shorthanded goals. He also played in 11 playoff games this past season with El Paso and posted five points (3G, 2A) and 14 penalty minutes.
"Corey is an exciting young hockey player who continues to improve each season," said Ice General Manager Larry Linde. "He has excellent speed which is essential on our big ice surface and works hard on both ends of the ice. His best years are certainly still ahead of him."
The product of Western Michigan University (CCHA) will be making his second stint with the Ice as he was a member of the team's 2000 Miron Cup Championship Team. He made his professional debut with the Icemen following the completion of his senior season at WMU and played in six playoff games.
After earning a ring with Indy, he has spent his last two years pro with El Paso and New Orleans of the ECHL. His two-year numbers consist of 103 points (46G, 57A) and 76 penalty minutes in 120 games.
