Rampage Sign Eizenman for Second Time

SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Rampage announced today that they have signed former Rensselaer Oren Eizenman to a professional tryout offer (PTO).

Eizenman signed a PTO with the Rampage November 25, 2008 and tallied two assists in four games before he was released on December 7, 2008. He rejoins the team after playing in two games with the Fresno Falcons (ECHL) since his release on Sunday.

A native of Toronto, Ontario, Eizenman began the season with the Falcons where he had played in 10 games recording three goals and 10 assists. Eizenman also appeared in three games with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League this season.

The 23-year-old played most of the 2007-08 season with Fresno recording 27 goals and 39 assists in 53 games. He also appeared in six playoff games with the Falcons posting four goals and one assist. Last season, with the Worcester Sharks (AHL), he tallied one assist in seven games and appeared in one game with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL).

Eizenman, a second year professional, recorded 37 goals and 62 assists in 129 career NCAA games with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Rampage take on the league-leading Hershey Bears tonight at 7 p.m. This will be the first meeting between the Rampage and the Bears in the team’s seven-year history. The Rampage are currently on a four-game winning streak.
