Elmira, NY - The Elmira Jackals announced today that right wing Frank Littlejohn has been called up by the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League.

Littlejohn leads the UHL in short-handed goals (7), he scored his 200th career UHL goal on 1/26/07 at Wings Stadium against Kalamazoo and he played in his 500th career pro game on 11/22/06 at First Arena against Chicago.
"Frank has been working very hard and deserves this call up to the American Hockey League," said Jackals General Manager Robbie S. Nichols. "San Antonio is looking for someone to add speed and energy to their lineup and I am sure that they will get that in Frank Littlejohn."
