Arizona Sundogs News Release


PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Arizona Sundogs, in preparation for their fourth season of Central Hockey League play, announced today that they have re-signed forward Jason Visser for the upcoming 2009-10 campaign. Visser becomes the second player under contract with Arizona for next season, joining recently-named player/assistant coach Chris Bartolone.

Visser, 27, returns to the Sundogs for a third season after injuries limited him to just 13 games in 2008-09. The Mississauga, Ontario, native averaged nearly a point-per-game with Arizona during the 2007-08 campaign, tallying 57 points (19g/38a) in 59 regular season contests to finish fourth in scoring among CHL rookies.

The 6-foot, 208-pound forward continued his offensive production during the 2008 playoffs, helping the Sundogs to the Ray Miron President's Cup title with 16 points (4g/12a) in 17 games.

"Jason missed most of last season due to injury," said Sundogs Head Coach and General Manager Marco Pietroniro. "He was a big part of our success during our Championship season and looked to continue that role last season prior to being injured. I know he's eager to return to the ice and we're excited for him to reestablish himself as a point-per-game player."

The Sundogs return for their fourth season at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley this October. Season ticket packages are available and start as low as $350. Ask about the 'No-Risk Protection Plan'. For more information call (928) 772-5555 or visit www.arizonasundogs.com.
