KENNEWICK, WA - Tri-City Americans general manager Bob Tory announced today that the team has hired Jerry Price as a scout in northern British Columbia. Jerry will also serve as a goaltending evaluator with the Americans, working with listed prospects.

Jerry, the father of former Americans goaltender, Carey Price, was selected in the eighth round of the 1978 NHL Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers organization.
