Kelowna Rockets Acquire A New Goalie
January 10, 2009 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Kelowna Rockets News Release
Kelowna, BC: The Kelowna Rockets are pleased to announce that 20 year old goaltender Mark Guggenberger has been acquired from the Swift Current Broncos for a fifth round Bantam Draft pick in 2010.
Guggenberger is a big, mobile goaltender at 6'2, 208 pounds in his third season in the Western Hockey League. In 24 games for the Broncos this season he has a record of 12-11-0-0 with two shut-outs.
Originally listed by the Portland Winterhaws, Guggenberger was acquired by the Broncos at the trade deadline last season. In his WHL career he has a 19-16-1-0 record with six shut-outs.
Kelowna Rockets President/General Manager Bruce Hamilton says, "We felt we had a chance to get a year younger goalie who has had success in Swift Current and it gives us more options going into next season at the goaltending position."
Guggenberger turns 20 years old today, but is eligible to return to the WHL next season for his official 20-year old season. He will join the Rockets immediately and will be in the line up Wednesday night at Prospera Place when the visiting Tri-City Americans come to town.
