WHALERS ASSIST TIM HORTONS DURING CAMP DAY PROMOTION

Ed Wright of PlymouthCantonSports.com has the story:

Plymouth Whalers Stefan Noesen, Scott Wedgewood and Max Iafrate love the tasty selection of foods on Tim Horton's expansive menu.

"I think I've sampled everything at least once today," quipped Wedgewood, smiling.

But it wasn't their stomachs that brought the trio of Whalers to the Tim Horton's location on Ford Rd. (just west of I-275) on June 2.

Meanwhile, RJ Mahalak and his brother, Matt, visited the Tim Hortons store in Monroe.

WHALERS SIGN ADAM RESTOULE

Plymouth Whalers President, General Manager and Head Coach Mike Vellucci announced the signing of 17-year-old left wing Adam Restoule, who was selected by the Whalers in the 11th round (213th overall) of the 2009 Ontario Hockey League Draft.

"I feel very lucky and excited to come to Plymouth," said Restoule. "It's a great organization, I like the rink and I've seen the city (of Plymouth). I'm very fortunate to get signed."
