Cedar Rapids RoughRiders News Release
Cedar Rapids, Iowa- The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders have acquired forward Derek Danowski from the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets in exchange for a 2007 United States Hockey League draft pick, the RoughRiders announced today.
"We think Derek is a quality player with a lot of junior experience who can help us up front," said RoughRiders Coach and General Manager Mark Carlson.
Danowski, 20, scored one goal and picked up three assists in 11 games with Ohio this season. A 5' 7", 165-pound native of Warren, Michigan, Danowski joined the Blue Jackets this year after spending two seasons with the Texas Tornado of the junior A North American Hockey League. Danowski scored 27 goals and totaled 61 points in 58 games with the Tornado last year.
The RoughRiders (11-5-0, 22 points) are currently in second place in the United States Hockey League's East Division, two points behind the division-leading Waterloo Black Hawks. The Riders return to action tonight at 7:05 when they meet the Indiana Ice at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. The Riders host the Chicago Steel tomorrow evening at 7:05.
