Rochester Rhinos News Release


(Rochester, NY)... Rochester Raging Rhinos Vice President and General Manager Chris Economides announced today at a press conference that the club has signed Goalkeeper Theo Zagar and re-signed forward Doug Miller to contracts.

Zagar, who was selected by the Toronto Lynx in 1998 out of the University of Toronto, holds every major goalkeeping record for the Lynx. In six seasons with the Lynx, the 29-year old netminder recorded a 44-54-16 mark with a 1.25 goals against average and 30 shutouts. He was twice named Toronto's Most Valuable Player following the 2000 and 2002 seasons, while capturing 2000 Second Team All A-League honors after leading his team to the Eastern Conference Finals where they lost to the Rochester Rhinos. Zagar has agreed to a two-year deal with Rochester.

"Competing against Theo over the last three or four seasons, he has shown that he is a top goalkeeper in this league" said Rhinos Head Coach Pat Ercoli. "It will be nice to finally have him on our side."

Rochester has also come to terms with their all-time leading scorer Doug Miller on a two-year contract. Named the Rhinos Most Valuable Player after the 2003 season, Miller finished second among all A-League scorers with 38 points on 17 goals and four assists. Miller began his Rhinos career as an original Rhino from 1996-1999 where he established franchise records for goals (23) and points (51) in a season. In 1997 he was honored as the A-League Most Valuable Player. Miller currently holds 17 Rhinos records including career points (156) and goals (70).

"It was a pleasant surprise to have Doug pick up where he left off without missing a beat" said Ercoli. "We are happy that he is back with us for the foreseeable future."
