New Mexico Scorpions News Release


[ RIO RANCHO, N.M.]- The New Mexico Scorpions, proud member of the Central Hockey League (CHL), have played their best hockey over the last three weeks and Head Coach Ray Edwards continues to make his team even stronger. The Scorpions have come to terms with forward Jamie Herrington.

Herrington comes to the Scorpions in his fourth year of professional hockey. The Cornwall, Ont. native arrives in New Mexico after spending last season in with Villard-de-Lans.

"Jamie has proven he can score at each level of hockey he has played," said Edwards. "Adding Jamie up front will only make our offense stronger. We were very fortunate to get a player of his caliber at this point in the season."

After spending four years at Dartmouth College , where he was captain for two seasons, Herrington spent his first two professional seasons in the ECHL with Richmond and Pensacola . While in Pensacola Edwards met Herrington during his rookie season when Edwards was the assistant coach for the Ice Pilots. The 28-year-old has played in 110 professional games scoring 80 points (21G, 59A).

Herrington will make his Scorpions debut this weekend when the Scorpions host Lubbock on Friday night and travel to face the Sundogs in Arizona on Saturday. To make room on the roster, Jake Brenk has been waived.
