Muskegon Lumberjacks News Release
MUSKEGON, MI.--- The two-time defending Colonial Cup Champions of the United Hockey League, the Muskegon Fury, have announced today that goaltender CLAYTON POOL has been summoned to the American Hockey League's Iowa Stars where he will serve as the back-up goalkeeper tonight for the Stars clash against the Grand Rapids Griffins at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Pool, 27, in his second season with the Fury, has been enjoying an excellent campaign as one of the major spokes in the wheel of Muskegon's extraordinary first-place, UHL league leading season that has seen his team assemble the best record in all of pro hockey at 35(28-5-2) for a total 58-points and .829 winning percentage.
In 22-games, the former standout at the U. of Alberta has fashioned a brilliant mark of 20(17-3-0) with 1-shutout, a 2.78 GAA and .910 SPCT. His 17-wins rank as second most in the league with Pool presently on a personal 5-game win streak, posting a stingy, stellar 2.20 GAA in that undefeated span.
The Fury netminder will be actually facing two of his Fury teammates in tonight's AHL clash as defensemen CLAY WILSON and BRENT ANGEL will be operating on the Griffins defense for the 7:00 pm bout.
Wilson was summoned to Grand Rapids after the Fury's 13th game of this current campaign while Angel arrived on the "Grifs" scene last weekend.
Through the current 2005-06 season, there have been six Fury players receiving the call to the AHL, including goaltender Kevin LaPointe (Grand Rapids), defenseman Jon Insana (Grand Rapids) and left wing Ryan Keller (Grand Rapids).
