Elmira Jackals News Release


Elmira, NY - The Elmira Jackals, proud members of the United Hockey League, announced the signing of 5'11", 225-pound right wing Peter Bournazakis Saturday.

Bournazakis was signed as a free agent, but had spent time with both the Pensacola Ice Pilots (ECHL) and the Fort Worth Brahmas (CHL) in 2003-04 before joining Elmira. The Toronto, ONT native shined in Pensacola, scoring 15 points (4 g, 11 a) and 29 penalty minutes in just 10 games played, while he tallied just one assist in four games for Fort Worth.

The 27-year old Bournazakis is not a stranger to the United Hockey League; he played 61 games plus playoffs for the Port Huron Beacons last season. In his first year as a professional, Bournazakis had a career high 77 points (29 f, 48 a) in 64 games with the Indianapolis Ice of the CHL in 2001-02. Bournazakis was a college star at Division III Rochester Institute of Technology, where he scored 224 points in 114 games over 4 years.

The Jackals return to the ice Wednesday night in Virginia, before returning for a weekend triple-header at the First Arena, beginning Friday night against the Riverdogs at 7pm.
