Connecticut Whale News Release
HARTFORD, November 29, 2009: Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack has recalled defensemen Jared Nightingale and Mike Berube from the team's ECHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers.
Nightingale, a fourth-year pro out of Michigan State University, had tallied one goal and added five assists for six points, and had 52 penalty minutes, in 16 games with the Checkers. He was +8 in that action, and his 52 PIM ranked second on the Charlotte team. The 6-3, 205-pound Nightingale skated in 49 AHL games with the Wolf Pack last season, contributing two goals and five assists for seven points and serving 121 minutes in penalties.
Originally signed to an AHL contract by the Wolf Pack January 30, 2009, Nightingale, a 27-year-old native of Jackson, MI, has five goals and six assists for 11 points, along with 149 penalty minutes, in 75 career AHL games with the Wolf Pack, Springfield, Iowa and Chicago.
Berube, a 6-1, 215-pound rookie out of the Western Hockey League, had two goals and two assists for four points, plus 23 penalty minutes, in 16 games with Charlotte. The 21-year-old's +11 mark was the best on the Checkers' team and was good for a tie for fifth overall in the ECHL.
The 21-year-old Berube signed an AHL contract with the Wolf Pack this past June 9, after a 2008-09 season in which he played 56 games with the WHL's Vancouver Giants, registering four goals and 20 assists for 24 points, along with 55 penalty minutes and a +33. In 317 career WHL games over five seasons with Prince George, Red Deer and Vancouver, the Edmonton, Alberta native scored 15 goals and added 63 assists for 78 points, while amassing 333 PIM.
The Wolf Pack are back in action this afternoon in Bridgeport, with a 3:00 PM GEICO Connecticut Cup game vs. the Sound Tigers (WTIC HD-2, www.hartfordwolfpack.com, www.wtic.com ).
