Lakeland Loggerheads News Release


LAKELAND, Fla. – The Lakeland Loggerheads today announced the signing of center Dru Burgess.

Burgess, 5'11", 195 lb., is a 6th year pro and native of Hamilton, Ontario. Thus far in his pro career, Burgess has amassed 104 goals and 122 assists for a total of 226 points in 244 games played.

"Dru is a terrific addition to our team," Tony Zappia, Loggerheads Vice President and Coach said. "He's a smart player who is good with the puck, makes good decisions and isn't afraid to play in traffic."

The Loggerheads will look to Burgess to be another weapon at even strength and a go-to guy on the power play.

"This is a great opportunity for me," Burgess said. "I've played with a couple of the guys here before and it seemed like a real good fit. We've had some pretty good chemistry right away in practice."

The Loggerheads face off against the Macon Trax, Alabama Slammers, Jacksonville Barracudas, Miami Manatees, and Orlando Seals in the WHA2's inaugural season. All games will be broadcast on www.irn.fm.
