GARY, IN - The Gary Steelheads today announced the hiring of Dennis Truax as their new Director of Media Relations. Truax will also hold the position of Assistant Director of Basketball Operations for the Steelheads.

I look forward to working with Jewel Harris Jr., Esq., Duane Ticknor, Dale Osbourne, Sean McLaughlin and the rest of the Steelheads staff to not only make the 2005 CBA All-Star Classic a success, but also to bring a CBA Championship to the Gary Steelheads fans and supporters."
"Dennis will do a great job for us here in Gary. He is a hard worker who always makes sure the job gets done the right way. He has a high basketball IQ and is the best at what he does. I know that Dale and I will be looking to him for help sometime during the season and that he will be able to do the job for us. I am glad to have him on board with us this season," stated Steelheads Head Coach Duane Ticknor.
"Dennis is a very capable addition to the Steelheads family," said Steelheads Jewell G. Harris Sr., Chief Executive Officer.
