James MarsdenThe Plymouth Whalers now have a little more depth.
Whalers President, General Manager and Head Coach Mike Vellucci said the team acquired 19-year-old right wing James Marsden from the Kingston Frontenacs last week.
Marsden – from Exeter, ON – was originally selected by Kingston in the 7th round (134th overall) of the 2006 Ontario Hockey League Draft. In three seasons with Kingston, Marsden scored 13 goals with 10 assists for 23 points and 100 PIM’s in 129 games. Marsden enjoyed his best offensive season last year when he scored eight goals with five assists for 13 points in 55 games.
Marsden adds to Plymouth’s depth, with forwards Ryan Hayes, Jamie Devane, Stefan Noesen, Austin Mattson and RJ Mahalak all currently out of the lineup with various injuries.
Plymouth hits the road this week, playing in Barrie on Thursday, Sudbury on Friday and Sault Ste. Marie on Saturday. The Whalers will play in Owen Sound on October 7 and London on October 9 before returning home on Saturday, October 10 at 7:05pm against Sudbury.
