Lewiston MAINEiacs News Release


Lewiston, ME - The Lewiston MAINEiacs have released Tom Michalik. Head Coach & General Manager Ed Harding made the announcement on Tuesday.

Michalik played in six games with the MAINEiacs this year and scored 2 assists and registered 6 penalty minutes. Last season, Tom was awarded the Scholastic Player of the Month for September 2007 for achieving excellence in the classroom. He was also a member of the 2007 Presidents Cup squad that played in the MasterCard Memorial Cup in Vancouver, BC.

When asked about the decision Coach Harding said, "It really was a competition between our 8 defensemen. When you have a 20 year old who gets paid a high salary, that player needs to be in the top 4. In the end, it was a business decision."

The MAINEiacs will be on home ice at the Colisee on Friday night versus the Drummondville Voltigeurs. Game time is set for 7:00 PM. Tickets are available at the Box Office, on-line by clicking here, or by calling (207) 783-2009.
