2017 Adelaide Adrenaline Roster |
|
|
|
The Adelaide Adrenaline, proudly presented by Hards Transport, are pleased to announce their roster for their Round 1 game vs. defending champion Newcastle North Stars.
This year's team is coached by head coach Sami Mantere and assistant coach Neil Boyle. Dean Worsely steps in as equipment manager and joining us all the way from Canada is Mike Biergard to be our team manager.
The off-ice team has been working closely with the players since December to make sure they are in shape for the season. It has been a long, intensive summer of training and now we feel like we can't wait one day longer to play for the city of Adelaide.
DEFENSE
19-year-old Jordan Geyer returns for a second season with the team in what will be classed as a "rookie" year. Jordan saw limited action in four games last season.
He has worked hard all off-season, rarely missing a training, and fighting hard to earn a spot on the team. We look forward to watching him grow and develop as a player.
#5 Casey Babineau, sponsored by IceArena
Casey comes to us from the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI). He had a standout four-year university career with UPEI, three of which he played with Adrenaline import Cole MacMillan.
#6 Zach Boyle, sponsored by TAD Transformers
Welcome back, Zach. At 20 years of age Zach has already played 66 games in the AIHL. He spent two years with the Adrenaline from 2014 to 2015 before playing a season with the CBR Brave. Boyle is one of the most experienced yong players in the league.
#23 David Huxley, sponsored by Robert Rogerson Consulting
Huxley is a mainstay on the Australian Senior Men's team. "Hux" has played for the Adrenaline since he was 16 and enters his 13th season with the team.
#27 Ben Gebert, sponsored by Power Play Sports
Gebert returns to the Adrenaline after taking the last two seasons off. He owns the local shop in the rink - Power Play Sports- and is a well known character in the Ice Hockey community.
Gebert is solid defensively and extremely smart on the rink. He'll be a big part of the group in 2017 adding depth, grit and determination.
#58 Morgan McNeill, sponsored by Anytime Fitness and the Adelaide Red Wings
Morgan joins the Adrenaline from Bouctouche Rams in a Senior Canadian Hockey league. His team lost in the National Semi Finals this season.
FORWARDS
#7 Ryan Foll, sponsored by Matt Barrie Home Improvements
Ryan Foll returns for another season and he is hoping to continue steady improvements.
#10 Greg Oddy, sponsored by Bargain Steel Centre
He is the all-time Australian goals, games and points leader. If you're watching Greg it's like you're watching a living record book. He leads the AIHL in all-time goals, assists, points and games.
Oddy is in his 17th AIHL season and is just eighth points away from becoming the first ever player in AIHL history to 600 points. He has an astonishing 192 more points than retired Bears forward Vlad Rubes, the second highest on the list.
#11 Cameron Critchlow, sponsored by Dr. John Chen
He's captained a team in Canada to three national championships in four seasons for the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds in the CIS. Cameron brings leadership, goal scoring and a game-changing presence.
#12 Darren Corstens, sponsored by Arrunga Surfacing
Darren is a 26 year old forward with eight years of AIHL experience. He is a speedy, hard working winger with offensive upside.
#13 Cole MacMillan (Import), sponsored by Carol Hunter Psychology
Cole returns for a second season with the Adrenaline as an import. He grew up in PEI and captained the University of Prince Edward Island team where he met Casey Babineau.
#14 Remy McGuiness, sponsored by Boileau Business Solutions
#15 Tyson Boyd, sponsored by Ultimate Plumbing
He is described as one of the most feared Ice Hockey South Australian (IHSA) Premier League players. He plays hard in the corners and is a big presence in front of the net. Tyson has made the leap to the AIHL at 27 and is one of the veteran guys on the team.
#16 Jake Riley, sponsored by Melissa de Zwart
Jake turned 17 just the week before the season started. His young age is promising considering all his accomplishments.
#17 Marcel McGuiness, sponsored by Gregor Constructions
Coupled with Jake Riley, Marcel is one of two 17-year-olds on the team. Marcel is already turning heads. McGuiness was one of the leading scorers on the Under 18 Australian Team that won gold. In the IHSA Premier League he is putting up big numbers.
#19 Josef Rezek, sponsored by the Adrenaline Junkies
Rezek has become one of the fan favourites over the last few seasons as evidenced by his player sponsor being the Adrenaline Junkies (Adelaide's supporter group).
After playing one of the highest levels of junior hockey in Canada, "Charbs" moved to Australia. He has played on-and-off for the Adrenaline/Avalanche since 2005 and brings a wealth of hockey knowledge, experience and leadership to the team.
Charbonneau is one of the smartest players in the rink and plays with an edge. In a game in Adelaide in 2015 he dumped a player into the stands during play.
#73 Steve Best, sponsored by Gavin Best Roofing
Steve Best returns to the Adrenaline. He had his first multi-point game in the season last year and will look to improve on that total.
#1 Glen Forbes White, sponsored by Adelaide Adrenaline Development Program
Glen will put on the Adrenaline uniform for the first time this weekend. He was the starting goalie for the Adelaide Generals this season.
#39 Pete King, sponsored by Shane Manhire
King returns to the Adrenaline after a breakout season that saw him play in all 28 games. King has been involved with the team for nearly a decade and is one of the leaders in the community. He regularly is seen coaching young goalies and helping the juniors.
ON THE ROSTER BUT NOT IN THE LINE UP SATURDAY
#8 Sean Greer, sponsored by HARDS TRANSPORT - Defense
Sean Greer is playing in his 11th AIHL season. He is not available for the first game because he is serving the final game of a suspension dating back to the 2016 season.
He has turned into a key leader on this team and is expected to be a productive veteran player on a young Adrenaline team. He plays a strong, physical style of hockey and is the first to stick up for his team mates. His booming point shot gives him offensive upside.
#9 Wehebe Darge, sponsored by Organic Market and Cafe (2016) - Forward
Wehebe will return to the AIHL after some time away from hockey. He is currently traveling to enjoy a mini-break after playing non-stop hockey for almost five years.
#35 Tyler Steel, sponsored by Shane Manhire - Defense
Tyler joins Adelaide from the Southern Professional Hockey League's (SPHL) Huntsville Havoc. Steel is the starting goalie for the Havoc and will join the Adrenaline when the season ends in early May.
#49 Jamie Holland
Jamie is one of the hardest working members of the Adrenaline. He is from England and has been living in Australia the last few years. He moved to Adelaide in 2015 and has been training with the team ever since.
