Trenton Devils News Release


TRENTON, N.J. (February 9, 2009) -- The Trenton Devils have announced their plans for Scott Bertoli's jersey retirement ceremony that will take place Saturday, February 21 before the game between the Devils and the South Carolina Stingrays.

The ceremony will commence at 6:30 p.m. and will be hosted by MSG Plus analyst and New Jersey Devils great Ken Daneyko, who is no stranger to jersey retirement ceremonies. His No. 3 was raised to the rafters after a brilliant career with the Devils in 2006.

Daneyko played all 1,283 of his games in the National Hockey League with the Devils, which is a team record. The steady defenseman won three Stanley Cups in New Jersey (1995, 2000, and 2003) and was the recipient of the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2000 for perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.

Former Trenton Titans players will also be on hand to support Bertoli on his special night. Scheduled to attend are: Andrew Allen, Bujar Amidovski, Jerramie Domish, Les Haggett, Leon Hayward, Cail MacLean, Alain St. Hilaire, and Kam White.

Current Trenton Devils head coach Rick Kowalsky and assistant coach Vince Williams will also take part in the festivities. Kowalsky and Williams were captain and assistant captain, respectively, in the 2004-05 Kelly Cup season.

In addition to the players at the ceremony, a video greeting from former Titans head coach and current Chicago Blackhawks assistant coach Mike Haviland will be shown on the scoreboard.

Trenton Devils players will also wear a special patch honoring Bertoli on their game jerseys. The jerseys will be auctioned off throughout the game to fans in attendance.

Bertoli spent most of his eight-year pro career in Trenton, playing in 507 games for the Titans. Bertoli also played 13 games in the American Hockey League with Lowell, St. John, and Norfolk. He placed among the top two in scoring in each year of his Titans' career. Bertoli's No. 19 will be the first sweater retired in team history.
