Visser Stays in Arizona

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - Arizona Sundogs Head Coach and General Manager Marco Pietroniro announced today the team has re-signed former Union standout Jason Visser for the upcoming 2010-11 Central Hockey League season.

Visser returns to the Sundogs for his fourth season with the team in 2010-11. The 28-year-old forward appeared in 43 games during the 2009-10 season recording nine goals, 12 assists and 18 penalty minutes (PIM) while injuries limited him to just 13 games in 2008-09.

The Mississauga, Ontario, native averaged nearly a point-per-game with Arizona during the 2007-08 campaign, tallying 57 points (19g/38a) in 59 regular-season contests to finish fourth in scoring among CHL rookies.

The 6-foot, 208-pound forward continued his offensive production during the 2008 playoffs, helping the Sundogs to the Ray Miron President's Cup title with 16 points (4g/12a) in 17 games.

"Jason has missed parts of the last two seasons due to injury," said Pietroniro. "But he's set to enter training camp healthy and we're excited for him to return to the ice and re-establish himself as a leader for our team."
