The Elmira Jackals, proud member of the United Hockey League, announced today the signing of veteran power forward Charlie Elezi. Elezi becomes the 19th player signed by the Jackals for the upcoming 2004-2005 Season.
Elezi, a Warren, MI native, comes to the Jackals from Oklahoma City of the CHL. In 2003-04 he had 9 goals, 6 assists, and 221 penalty minutes in 61 games for the Blazers.
