Storm Picks Up Two More
October 9, 2002 - ECHL (ECHL)
Toledo Walleye News Release
(Toledo, Ohio) The Toledo Storm of the East Coast Hockey League today announced that two players were assigned to the team-one from each of the Storm's two National Hockey League affiliates, the Detroit Red Wings and the Nashville Predators. Darryl Bootland was assigned to the Storm by the Red Wings through their American Hockey League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins. Erik Anderson was assigned to Toledo by the Predators through their AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.
Bootland, 6'1/188 (20), is about to embark upon his first season as a professional. An eighth round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2000, Bootland put up spectacular numbers in his four-year career in major junior, particularly last season when he scored 41 goals and added 57 assists (along with 137 penalty minutes) in 61 regular season games for the Toronto St. Michael's Majors in the Ontario Hockey League. Bootland's production did not slow in the playoffs, as he scored eight goals and eighteen points in the fifteen post-season contests played by the Majors.
Anderson, 5'11/192 (24), a second year pro out Plymouth, Michigan, played four seasons of college hockey at St. Lawrence University. During his senior year, he picked up 51 points in just 32 games. Last year, he split the season between the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL where he scored six goals and added thirteen assists in just seventeen games; and the Admirals in the AHL, where he picked up ten points in 49 games.
It is expected that Bootland and Anderson will join the Storm later this week.
