PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - Arizona Sundogs Head Coach and General Manager Marco Pietroniro, in preparation for the 2011 CHL Ray Miron Presidents' Cup Playoffs, today announced the team's finalized playoff roster.

The CHL deadline for finalized playoff rosters was today at 12:00pm (Central time).

The team's lone addition to its roster for the playoffs is forward Sean Muncy.

Muncy, 26, split the 2010-11 regular season with the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees, Missouri Mavericks and Texas Brahmas, amassing 16 goals, 22 assists and 60 penalty minutes (PIM) in 66 total contests.

The Chesterfield, Missouri, native tallied 31 points (14g/17a) in 37 games with Rio Grande Valley before being traded to Missouri. Muncy appeared in six games with the Mavericks before again being dealt, this time to the Brahmas.

Muncy also appeared in one American Hockey League (AHL) contest this season with the Houston Aeros.
