St. Paul Saints News Release


ST. PAUL, MN – Eben Yager has been named Assistant General Manager of the Northern League team. Yager's promotion was one of several announced by the team as the off-field restructuring begins for the 2005 season. The announcements were made by Derek Sharrer, the team's Executive Vice President and General Manager. Yager, 27, has served as Ticket Sales Director for the past two seasons.

"Eben had done a tremendous job over the past two seasons reorganizing and revitalizing our ticket sales department." Sharrer said. "He has earned the opportunity to take a more comprehensive leadership role on our staff. I'm confident he will do a great job."

Sharrer also said that Matt Hansen will replace John Kuhn (now general manager at Sioux Falls) as Director of Corporate Sales. Hansen assisted Kuhn last year in that department. Matt Bomberg will become Director of Group Ticket Sales. It will be the fourth year for each with the team, their third on a fulltime basis.

Jack Weatherman and Ron Wade, who were Sales Representatives last year, have been promoted to the titles of Corporate Sales Manager and Group Sales Manager respectively. Both joined the team prior to the 2004 season.

Dan Lehv has been hired as the team's new Director of Marketing. Lehv comes to the team after working for the past three seasons with Charleston (SC). Matt Teske, who previously interned with the team, has been hired as a Sales Representative. Both will join the club on a full-time basis in December.

The Saints, who won their first Northern League title in eight seasons in late September, expect to announce their 2005 schedule shortly. The club has been told they will open the season at home May 20 against Schaumburg, the team they defeated in the Northern League Championship Series.
