Peoria Rivermen News Release
Peoria, IL (August 9, 2006) - Peoria Rivermen General Manager of Hockey Operations Kevin McDonald announced today that the club has signed left-wing Charles Linglet to a one-year, American Hockey League (AHL) contract.
Linglet, 24, earned a roster spot with the Rivermen last year as a training camp invitee. In 38 games with Peoria last season, Linglet tied for eighth on the team with 14 goals and 14th on the team with 21 points.
Last year, he had two separate regular-season stints with the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers, notching 14 points (5g, 9a) in 16 games. Participating in their Kelly Cup playoff run, the third-year professional helped Las Vegas reach the West Division finals by tallying nine points (5g, 4a) in 12 playoff contests. The Rivermen assigned him to the Wranglers late in the season following a comeback from injury.
A 6-foot-2, 212-pound native of Montreal, Quebec, Linglet began his professional career with the ECHL's Alaska Aces in 2003-04, collecting 55 points (20g, 35a) in 62 contests and earning selection as a starter in the 2004 Par-A-Dice ECHL All-Star Game in Peoria. During his rookie campaign, he enjoyed a seven-game debut with the AHL's Utah Grizzlies.
In his sophomore season, Linglet posted 62 points (28g, 34a) in 72 regular-season games for Aces, ranking second on the team in goal scoring and third in points. In the postseason that year, he led Alaska with 16 points (6g, 10a) in 15 contests en route to a ECHL Kelly Cup Semifinal appearance, which resulted in a seven-game series loss to the eventual-champion Trenton Titans.
Before his professional career, Linglet played for four years with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's (QMJHL) Baie-Comeau Drakkar. His career-best season came in 2001-02, when he amassed 52 goals and 71 assists for 123 points in 72 games. For his career with Baie-Comeau, he registered 260 points (108g, 152a) in 253 games.
