NHL ALL-STAR CHANGES TO THE SAME: HAMBURG FREEZERS UNDERTAKE JAMIE BENN

02.10.2012 – The Hamburg Freezers have responded to the NHL lockout and is now secured the services of striker Jamie Benn. Already tomorrow, Wednesday the 23-year-old will be presented by 15 clock at a press conference at the O2 World Hamburg. Jamie Benn graduated so far 222 games for the Dallas Stars, in which the links contactors with 70 goals and 90 assists, was able to achieve 160 points. In the last NHL season, the Canadian was first appointed to the NHL All-Star team.

“We are pleased that we were able to oblige with Jamie Benn an absolute top players from the NHL,” enthused sports director Stéphane Richer. “He has all the offensive skills, is very dangerous, technically and physically strong. He is also the age of 23 still young and evolving. Jamie is looking forward to his job in Hamburg and is glad that the game break is now over for him. If the license is normal, we can use it directly on Friday at home against Mannheim. “

Jamie Benn was on 18 July 1989 in Victoria / British Columbia (Canada) born. During his time with the WHL Kelowna Rockets club with which he was able to win the championship in 2009, the 188 cm tall and 91 kg heavy links Sagittarius was drafted in 2007 round 5 at position 129 of the Dallas Stars. In the 2009/2010 season Benn finally celebrated his debut in the National Hockey League (NHL), and then became part of a permanent cadre of stars. In the last season, the striker marked 63 points in 71 games (26 Tore/37 templates), advanced to the second best scorer of his team and was invited to the first NHL All-Star Game. With the “Team Chara” won the debutant that lot of the best players

World 29 January 2012 in Ottawa with 12:9 against the “Team Alfredsson”.

Jamie Benn, who will wear the shirt number 24 in Hamburg gets a contract until the end of the current DEL season, subject to the NHL lockout. The striker will accrue on Friday at home against Mannheim (19.30 clock, o2 World Hamburg) for the Freezers. He will not be the only NHL-attraction: Also on Friday night, the Stanley Cup will be presented at the O2 World Hamburg, with the visitors of the game from 16 clock (season ticket customers from 14 clock) can be photographed in the Blue Room.

Tickets for the game on 5 October are online, via the hotline 01805 – 208 408 (14 ct / min, mobile max 42 ct. / Min….), In the UK Volksbankarena and at all ticket locations available

Benn is a restricted free agent who could sign a long-term contract with the Stars for upwards of $6 million a season when the NHL returns from the lockout, so the guess is he will have to buy some insurance. And the expectation is that he will have an out in this contract to return to the NHL and the Stars as soon as the lockout is over.

I’ve heard he’s in great shape and working out hard in British Columbia, but he probably thinks this will help him stay fresh if the NHL doesn’t return to play soon.
