The Vancouver Giants are proud to announce defenceman ANDREJ MESZAROS has signed his first professional contract today. The Ottawa Senators have signed Meszaros to a three-year entry level contract. Terms of the agreement were not released.

Meszaros was the Senators first pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft (23rd overall). In his first season with the Giants last year, Meszaros had 11 goals, 30 assists, and 94 penalty minutes in 59 games.
