DES MOINES, IA - Iowa Stars Director of Hockey Operations Scott White announced early this afternoon that the Iowa Stars have signed Defenseman Matt DeMarchi (duh-MAR-key). Keeping with club policy, terms of the contract have not been disclosed.
The 25-year-old DeMarchi comes to the Iowa Stars after beginning the 2006-07 season with EHC Straubing in Germany and then with Sibir Novosibirsk in the Russian Super League.
A native of Bemidji, Minnesota, the left-handed blueliner began his professional career with the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League, playing 169 career games with the New York-based New Jersey Devils affiliate. He had seven goals, 27 assists and 235 penalty minutes with the River Rats: 169(7/27/34)235.
