Press Release
The Spokane Chiefs have announced that
19-year-old goaltender Mac Engel has been released and is awaiting a
trade to another WHL team.
Engel
went 42-28-3-4 as a Chief in 88 career appearances. In 2011-12, Engel
went 28-19-1-3. His 28 wins were 10th in the WHL. Engel was named the
WHL’s Goaltender of the Month for February, 2011 as he posted a 9-2-0-0
record with two shut-outs, a 1.83 GAA and .930 save percentage.
"This
was not the way we were expecting to resolve our goaltending situation
but feel that the move was necessary," Chiefs General Manager Tim Speltz
said. "Our goal is to still try and find an opportunity for Mac to
play in the WHL."
Spokane
is now carrying two goaltenders; 19-year-old Eric Williams and
17-year-old Garret Hughson. The Chiefs are down to 25 players on their
roster including eight defensemen and 15 forwards.
