SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 10, 2006) - The San Antonio Rampage today announced that they acquired defenseman Brad Tiley from the Springfield Falcons in exchange for future considerations. In addition, the Rampage's parent club, the Phoenix Coyotes, loaned defenseman Ray Schultz to the Falcons and recalled left wing Steve Gainey from the American Hockey League team.
Tiley, 34, collected 10 points (1-9=10) in 30 games this season with Springfield. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound blueliner amassed 383 points (99-284=383) in 699 career AHL games over 15 professional seasons with five teams (Maine, Binghamton, Springfield, Philadelphia and Milwaukee).
A native of Markdale, Ontario, Tiley participated in the AHL All-Star Classic three times for Team Canada, twice as a starter (1999, 2000) and once as the captain (2005). Tiley and Schultz were teammates during the 2003-04 season, winning a Calder Cup Championship with the Milwaukee Admirals and scoring seven points (1-6=7) in all 22 playoff games. The 84th overall pick (4th round, Boston Bruins) in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft was a First Team AHL All-Star with Springfield during the 1999-2000 campaign and received the annual Eddie Shore Award as the AHL's Outstanding Defenseman when he posted 68 points (14-54=68) in all 80 regular season games.
