Corpus Christi IceRays News Release


The Corpus Christi IceRays made a huge announcement today on a key signing for the upcoming 2008/2009 season. Sylvain Cloutier has made his presence known. T.J. Reynolds who last year played in the AHL hockey league will join the IceRays this year as one of their top defensemen. Reynolds a six foot two inch 225 pound bruiser will be a huge addition to the budding IceRay line-up. Pat Dunn, general manager said, "This is part of the reason we signed Coach Cloutier. He will be a great coach and we knew he would be a great recruiter. Reynolds is a huge pick up for us. He played last year for the Springfield Falcons, the equivalent of triple A hockey. Springfield is the affiliate for the Edmonton Oilers. Reynolds will add a great deal to our team."

Sylvain Cloutier said, "It is already getting easier to recruit players in Corpus Christi. The word is spreading that there is a new ownership group committed to winning hockey and that will make my recruiting job much easier. Guys have always loved the lifestyle in Corpus Christi and now that there is a committed ownership group in place, we will have a real shot at getting some great players. T.J. Reynolds is a player and fans in Corpus Christi will love watching this guy play."

T.J. Reynolds said, "I am looking forward to playing in Corpus Christi. I would play anywhere for Coach Cloutier but the fact that Corpus Christi is a great town with great new owners makes it an even easier choice. I want to help bring winning back to Corpus Christi."

Brent Chesney, VP and part owner said, "Wow, this is just plain huge. To get a quality player like TJ Reynolds added to the guys we have already signed is a great start for the new era in coastal bend hockey. Sylvain Cloutier has already begun to make his mark. Once again Pat Dunn's hiring of Coach Cloutier continues to look like a great decision based on his performance so far."
