Fourth Staal Finally Makes Pro!!


The youngest of the four Staal brothers, Jared, has been signed to an amateur tryout (ATO) contract by the San Antonio Rampage. The Rampage is the AHL affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes who drafted Jared in the second round of last year's draft.

According to cbc.ca, "San Antonio has eight games remaining in its schedule. The club did not say when Staal was expected to play his first game."

The Rampage shut-out the Iowa Chops last night; however, Staal was not in the lineup. They play the Chops again tonight, so Staal may get his chance then.

The article also mentions that Staal is still eligible to return to junior hockey next season.
