storm add mingoia to roster

Press Release

 KEARNEY, Neb. – Storm head coach and general manager Josh Hauge announced the club will add forward Trevor Mingoia to the roster for the remainder of the 2012-13 season on Wednesday.
 
Mingoia, who entered this season as a sophomore at Union College in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) of the NCAA, will give the team added depth and talent as a forward with collegiate hockey experience.

The Fairport, New York native appeared in 18 games with Union last season during the team’s run to the Frozen Four, totaling three goals and three assists.

“At this time of the season it’s hard to pick up guys that have the numbers and the pedigree he has,” Hauge said. “For us to be able to pick up a player that we think can come in and play in our top couple lines right away, it’s something we had to do. We’re not expecting him to turn everything around for us, but we think he’s a leader with skill and he can help us.”

Before Union, Mingoia played at the Berkshire School and led the team in scoring with 20 goals and 28 assists while serving as team captain during the 2010-11 season.

Mingoia is expected to be in the lineup and will wear number 28 when Tri-City hits the road this weekend. The Storm will be the first opponent to play in the Ralston Arena against the Omaha Lancers on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. The team will then travel to Sioux Falls on Saturday night to take on the Stampede, also at 7:05 p.m.
