Macon Trax News Release


[Macon, Ga.]—Macon Trax Head Coach Tommy Stewart, continued to re-sign his offensive stars from last season. Craig Miller will return to Macon for his sophomore campaign.

Miller enjoyed a stellar rookie season scoring 51 points (27G, 24A). The 5'11", 185-pound winger was second on the team with a +19 rating.

Coming back to Macon will once again team Miller up with his college teammate Edan Welch. The New Brunswick natives played together at St. Thomas University from 1999-2003.

"Craig was a great surprise for us last season." said Stewart, "His hard work showed and he was one of the best rookies we had in the league last year."

As a second year player Miller will be counted on to help maintain the Trax high powered offense during the 2004-05 season. Last season he impressed Gwinnett Gladiator scouts and earned a three game tryout late in the season.

"We were very excited Gwinnett wanted to take a look at him." said Trax General Manager Joe Suk, "If all of our players could advance to a higher level, we have really done our job."
