Jackals Staying On The Road
Published on December 8, 2009 under ECHL (ECHL)
Elmira Jackals News Release
Coming off a weekend in which the Jackals dropped three games - one to the Charlotte Checkers and two to the South Carolina Stingrays - the Elmira Jackals will look to get back into the win column with a Friday road game at Johnstown, followed by Saturday and Sunday contests at Toledo.
For the first time in 2009-2010, the Jackals enter a new week outside of the top spot in the American East Division. The Jackals begin the ECHL's tenth week of 2009-2010 in the second spot in the division, trailing the first-place Reading Royals by five points.
LOOKING GOOD IN DEBUT
Goaltender Pier-Olivier Pelletier made 18 saves on 21 Stingrays shots in his professional debut on Sunday. The St. Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Quebec native was with Bakersfield at the beginning of 2009-2010 and was brought into Elmira as an emergency backup goaltender before signing a contract with the Jackals on Sunday.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
The Jackals will record their Christmas CD on Tuesday afternoon. The CD will be given out to fans entering First Arena for the Jackals game against Johnstown on Sunday, Dec. 20 at 4:05 p.m.
