Mississauga St. Michael's Majors News Release


Mississauga, ON - The Mississauga St. Michael's Majors are pleased to announce that they've added another goaltender to their roster. Anthony Grieco, a 2004 Majors draft pick, has decided to leave the University of North Dakota hockey program and join the Majors immediately. He'll be in the Mississauga line-up for this weekend's road trip, wearing number 31.

Grieco was originally grabbed in the 12th round (238th overall) of the 2004 OHL Priority Selection. At the time, he was a member of the Don Mills Minor Hockey system. He spent the 2004-05 season with St. Andrew's College in Toronto then starred for the Provincial Junior A Wellington Dukes during the 2005-06 campaign, earning a berth on that year's all-star team and the league playoff MVP award.

Last year was Grieco's first with North Dakota. In 8 games, he registered a 3-2-1 record, a 3.49 goals-against-average and a 0.884 save percentage.

Grieco stands 6'1" and weighs 195 lbs. The Brampton native will turn 19 years-of-age later this month.

The Majors stop in Windsor to battle the Spitfires on Thursday night (November 8) at 7:30 p.m., Plymouth on Friday evening (November 9) at 7:05 p.m., and the Brampton Battalion on Sunday afternoon (November 11) at 2 p.m. All three games will be webcast at www.stmichaelsmajors.com.

Mississauga returns home to host the Kitchener Rangers on Wednesday (November 14) evening at 7 p.m.

Majors tickets can be purchased through the Hershey Centre box office two hours prior to the puck drop on game-days or during regular business hours or by logging on to the Majors web site (www.stmichaelsmajors.com). For information on season tickets, group packages and private suites, please call the Majors office at 905-502-7788.
