Augusta Lynx News Release


Augusta, GA - Augusta Lynx Head Coach Bob Ferguson announced today that the Lynx have acquired forward Dan Kronick (Kr-on-ick) from the Elmira Jackals in exchange for Lynx centerman Igor Pohanka. Kronick is expected to join the Lynx when they return from their trip to Florida.

Kronick, 23, began the season with the Florida Everblades in the South Division and appeared in 13 games and scored one point with the Everblades to begin the season, including playing against the Lynx back on November 15th. Then on December 20th, Kronick was traded to the Elmira Jackals where he has since flourished. In 19 games with the Jackals, the forward from Inner Grove Heights, Minnesota, scored 14 points including six goals.

Kronick began his collegiate career with the University of Minnesota-Duluth and played through his freshman and sophomore seasons. He then transferred to St. Cloud State where he again flourished under his new surroundings. In 76 career games with the Huskies, he scored 49 points and was 5th in scoring during his senior season. He was also teammates with current Lynx goaltender Bobby Goepfert during his final two seasons at St. Cloud State.

Pohanka departs the Lynx after scoring 20 points in 36 games with Augusta. His best month of action came in December when he had nine points in 13 games played. He missed three weeks of action in November with a knee injury. However, Pohanka had scored only five points in January and February combined. Pohanka scored only one goal since January 5th. His best game as a Lynx may have come back on December 11th at Gwinnett when the forward from Piestany, Slovakia, scored both goals in a 3-2 shootout loss and was named the game's 2nd star.

The Augusta Lynx return home after a 10-day layoff on Friday, February 22nd against the Florida Everblades at 7:35pm at the James Brown Arena. The Lynx will host Educator Recognition Night on Friday. On Saturday, February 23rd the Lynx will host the South Carolina Stingrays at 7:05pm at the James Brown Arena. Saturday is the live jersey auction for the game-worn white Lynx player jerseys.
