Trevor Johnson to bring grit to Giant's defence
27-Jun-2007As the craziest off-season in EIHL history refuses to give up, the Coors Giants announced their 12th signing for the 07/08 season yesterday.
Trevor Johnson, a Saskatchewan native and former team mate of Coach Ed Courtenay at South Carolina, has become the first fresh face to the Giant's defensive corps for next year.
Widely regarded as a player who knows how to get put himself about, Johnson has also put up respectable numbers from the blue line throughout his professional career. Having spent 8 seasons in the ECHL, 2 with Hampton-Roads and the remainder a successful spell with South Carolina, he certainly remained consistent in terms of appearances, points and pims throughout that time.
He spent last year with Italy's Bruneck SG who compete in the country's top divison - Serie A.
General Manager Todd Kelman has likened the player to Giant's Legend Chad Allan - if he can turn out to match that lofty assessment, those cheering the teal will be more than happy.
