TEN YEARS IN THE TWIN TIERS.
     THAT'S THE SLOGAN THIS YEAR FOR THE ELMIRA JACKALS, WHO WILL BE PLAYING THEIR TENTH SEASON IN ELMIRA, AND 3RD IN THE ECHL.
     THE JACKALS HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON, ANNOUNCING THE SIGNING OF SIX PLAYERS.
     ONE OF THEM, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE FROM LAST YEAR...DEFENSIVE MVP TRAVIS GAWRYLETZ
     ELMIRA ALSO MADE THE NINO MUSITELLI SIGNING OFFICIAL, INKING DAYTON'S LEADING SCORER TO A CONTRACT FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON.

     AS FOR THE OTHER FOUR...HERE THEY ARE.
     FORWARD CHANSE FITZPATRICK PLAYED HERE IN 2006, HE'S BACK.
     DEFENSEMAN JEAN FRANCOIS DAVID...CALL HIM J-F... HE'LL RUN THE POWERPLAY.
     ONE THING IS OBVIOUS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATS OF ALL 4 GUYS...THEY CAN REALLY SCORE.

     SIX PLAYERS OBVIOUSLY WON'T MAKE UP THE ENTIRE ROSTER.
     MARTY TOLD US THE TEAM'S AGREED TO TERMS WITH MANY MORE, BUT WHO THEY ARE WON'T BE ANNOUNCED UNTIL THEY SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE.
     THE POSSIBILITY ALSO EXISTS FOR SOME TRADES...BUT DON'T EXPECT THE TYPE OF CHAOS WE SAW LAST YEAR.

     STILL BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF, AND IT'S IN THE BROADCAST BOOTH.
     THE JACKALS  WELCOMED THEIR TWO NEW ANNOUNCERS TODAY...YES I SAID TWO.
     MARC SHELANSKI AND ERIC LEVINE WILL MAKE UP A PLAY BY PLAY AND COLOR COMMENTATOR TEAM IN THE BOOTH...A RARE SIGHT.
     IF YOU CAN'T TELL, THE TWO ARE ON SLIGHTLY OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE EXPERIENCE SPECTRUM...BUT THAT ONLY MAKES THINGS MORE EXCITING TO THEM.
