Owlz Extend PDC with Angels

June 9, 2006 - Pioneer League (PL)
Northern Colorado Owlz News Release


The 2005 American League West Champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, along with the 2005 Pioneer League Champion Orem Owlz, announce the extension of the teams' Player Development Contract through 2010. The previous agreement was set to expire after the 2008 season.

"We are pleased to announce this two-year extension of our player development contract with Orem through the 2010 season," said Tony Reagins, Angels' Director of Player Development. "Our working partnership with the entire Owlz' organization has been an extremely positive one and we look forward to more success, both on and off the field, in the years to come."

Tom Kotchman, the winningest active manager in Minor League Baseball, will return to manage Orem for his 6th season-23rd in the Angels' organization-after leading the team to its second consecutive Pioneer League Championship in 2005. Since the team's arrival to Utah County in 2001, Kotchman's teams have won five divisional titles and competed for a championship each year.

"We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Angels Baseball," said co-GMs Zachary Fraser and Ryan Pace. "Year in and year out, we receive players that not only provide a great product on the field, but are good citizens. We look forward to many more years with a quality major league franchise like the Angels."

Opening Day for the Owlz will be June 22, 2006 against divisional and in-state rival Ogden Raptors. The Owlz can be heard this year at home and on the road on 960 AM The Zone.
