Wichita Thunder News Release
WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Thunder today announced the signing of rookie goaltender Jason Flick.
The 6-2, 195-pound Flick joins the Thunder from the University of Prince Edward Island, where was a starter for all four seasons, playing in 100 games. His best season came in 2002, when he was a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) first team all-star, first team All-Canadian and was named UPEI's Male Athlete of the Year. This past season, Flick went 12-12-2 with a 3.54 goals against average.
"Jason is considered one of the best goaltenders coming out of the CIS", said Thunder head coach Derek Laxdal. "He is a technically sound goaltender who covers a lot of the net and will give us a very big and talented duo to develop for the future."
Prior to attending UPEI, Flick played three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Windsor Spitfires and Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, compiling a record of 45-38-9. Flick joins defensemen Nate Metcalf, Ryan Fairbarn and Blake Forsyth, veteran forward Travis Clayton and goaltender Jamie Vandespyker under contract for 2004-05.
