Hartford Wolf Pack News Release


HARTFORD, January 14, 2014: Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack has signed goaltender David LeNeveu to an American Hockey League contract.

This will be the second tour of duty with the Wolf Pack for LeNeveu, an 11th-year veteran out of Cornell University. LeNeveu saw 13 games of action with the Pack in 2007-08, going 8-3-2 with a 1.83 goals-against average, a 92.4% save percentage and one shutout.

LeNeveu, 30, has played in one AHL game this season for the Providence Bruins, a 1-0 loss at Syracuse Saturday in which LeNeveu earned Third-Star honors with 20 saves. The 6-1, 187-pound Fernie, B.C. native has also appeared in eight ECHL games with the South Carolina Stingrays, action in which he was 4-4-0 with a 1.64 GAA and a 94.0% save percentage. Three of LeNeveu's four Stingray wins were by shutout, good for a tie for second among ECHL goaltenders in that category.

LeNeveu spent last season playing in Austria for Linz EHC, with whom he posted a 2.60 GAA and a 91.7% save percentage in 27 outings.

Originally selected in the second round (46th overall) of the 2002 NHL Draft by the Phoenix Coyotes, LeNeveu has played in 22 career NHL games with the Coyotes and Columbus Blue Jackets, going 5-9-2 with a 3.43 GAA and an 88.7% save percentage. In 308 career AHL contests with the Wolf Pack, Bruins, Springfield Falcons, Utah Grizzlies, San Antonio Rampage, Iowa Chops and Oklahoma City Barons, LeNeveu has a total slate of 121-150-26, with a 2.77 GAA, a 90.9% save percentage and nine shutouts. In addition to last year's experience with Linz EHC, LeNeveu spent the 2009-10 season with Salzburg EC, winning an Austrian championship.
