Biloxi, MS - The Mississippi Surge sign former Sea Wolves leading goal scorer, Anthony Battaglia. Battaglia played for the Mississippi Sea Wolves in from 2003-2005, stretching his success across two seasons.
"We are excited to add him to the team," said Surge Head Coach Jeff Bes, "He's a talented hockey player who will bring veteran leadership to our roster."
"It feels good being back on the ice in the SPHL," said Battaglia after practice, "I feel like I'm playing for my home team. It's been a while since I've played in the Coliseum, and I'm looking forward to it. The fans always made me feel at home; it always felt a bit like a family."
