Port Huron Flags News Release
(PORT HURON, MICH.) - Three weeks away from training camp, Port Huron Flags Head Coach Stan Drulia has signed two more weapons for the high-powered offense that he is planning for the season.
Andrew Katzberg, a native of Yorktown, Sask., is a winger who comes to the Flags from the Southern Professional Hockey League's Florida Seals. During last season, Katzberg recorded 12 goals, 10 assists and 341 penalty minutes in 55 games. At 6-feet-2, 210 pounds, Katzberg is a one-man wrecking crew on the ice.
"He is a big, strong guy who will provide plenty of toughness to an already hard-nosed team. I am very excited about adding Andrew into the mix. His game will keep other players honest. No one is going to come into our arena and leave here without some bumps and bruises," said Drulia.
Left Wing Brad Bonello spent last year between the American Hockey League and the East Coast Hockey League, racking up 49 points across the season. Originally from Brampton, Ont., he has been playing professionally since 2001, and checks in at 5-feet-9, 185 pounds.
"Brad is a small guy who plays big. He should score around 30 goals and will play a very antagonistic game. Other teams and players will know when he is on the ice," said Drulia.
With the physical prowess and scoring capabilities of the newest team additions, Drulia feels confident about the group coming in for training camp, which starts Oct. 2. Katzberg and Bonello are the seventeenth and eighteenth players to sign with the Flags, respectively.
