CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - The list for IceRays goaltender Anthony Stolarz keeps getting bigger each week. He can now add a new accomplishment to that list after being the only current NAHL player to be invited to the 2012 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp.

The evaluation camp will take place in August in Lake Placid, N.Y.

"Being selected to the National Junior Evaluation Camp in Lake Placid is such an honor," said Stolarz. "I will have the opportunity to represent my country and hopefully get to play for Team USA this winter in Russia. I would like to thank the IceRays for giving me the chance to excel and the Corpus Christi community for supporting me during my time as an IceRay."

Stolarz attended the NHL Combine in Toronto and ranked high in several categories. He will also travel to Pittsburgh, PA this upcoming weekend to take part in the 2012 NHL Draft. Earlier in the year, the rookie committed to play Division 1 hockey at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
