Wichita Signs Sibbald

WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Thunder announced Monday the signing of former Brown goaltender Mark Sibbald.

Sibbald enters his second professional season after splitting time among three teams and two leagues in 2009-10.  The Ridgeway, Ontario native opened, and finished, his rookie campaign with eventual SPHL champion Huntsville.  Sibbald anchored the Havoc crease with a 2.82 goals against average and a .910 save percentage that produced a 15-4-3 record.  In between his tours with Huntsville, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Sibbald was 5-4-1 during an 11-game stint for the Mississippi RiverKings, including a stretch where he won five consecutive starts in an eight-day span from January 22nd-29th.  The 26-year old also appeared in one game for the Laredo Bucks.
