KENNEWICK, WA - Tri-City Americans' Governor/General Manager Bob Tory is pleased to announce that 19-year-old forward Brendan Shinnimin will compete again as a member of Team WHL at the upcoming 2010 SUBWAY(r) Super Series.

He joins former Tri-City players Chet Pickard, Carey Price, Logan Stephenson and Shawn Belle as participants in the series.

Shinnimin, who is in his third full season with the Americans, currently finds himself among the team leaders in scoring, having notched three goals and 13 points in just seven games. The 5'10 180-pound forward from Winnipeg, Manitoba has amassed 42 goals and 120 points in 145 WHL games.
