MANCHESTER, NH - The Manchester Monarchs, the primary affiliate of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, on Tuesday agreed to terms on one-year contracts with left wing Jeff Giuliano and right wing Dan Welch. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not announced.
Giuliano, 25, appeared in a team-high 80 games with the Monarchs last season, recording 20 points (6-14=20) and 16 penalty minutes. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound native of Nashua, New Hampshire, was also honored with the Union Leader Fan Favorite Award at the close of the 2003-04 season. In 127 career AHL games, all with the Monarchs, the left winger has 35 points (10-25=35) and 24 penalty minutes.
Welch, 23, appeared in 31 games with the Monarchs last season, recording 12 points (6-6=12) and 18 penalty minutes. The 5-foot-10, 199-pound native of Hastings, Minnesota, missed 46 games last season due to shoulder surgery. Selected by the Kings in the eighth-round (245th overall) in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, Welch has appeared in 73 career AHL games, all with the Monarchs, recording 24 points (9-15=24) and 40 penalty minutes.
The NHL's future stars will converge on Manchester on February 13-14, 2005, as the Manchester Monarchs host the 2005 Dodge AHL All-Star Classic at the Verizon Wireless Arena. At this time, the only way you can ensure yourself a ticket to this marquee event is to purchase one of the Monarchs three Season Ticket Packages. Tickets to the 2005 Dodge AHL All-Star Classic will go on sale to the general public this fall.
