Spider-Man NL Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 http://www.carolinahurricanes.com/news/new...?articleid=1275 RALEIGH, N.C. (Aug. 10, 2004) – Jason Karmanos, Vice President / Assistant General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has agreed to terms with forwards Colin Forbes and Gordie Dwyer on one-year, two-way contracts. As per club policy, no other terms were announced. “Colin and Gordie add depth to our system,” said Karmanos. “Both have considerable NHL experience, and will help our organization with their skill and physical play during the course of the season.” Dwyer, 26, played in 55 games with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL in 2003-04. He finished the season with six goals and six assists (12 points) and ranked second on the team with 110 penalty minutes. The Dalhousie, N.B., native also played in two games with Montreal to start the season. St. Louis initially drafted Dwyer in the second round, 67th overall, in 1996, but he re-entered the draft in 1998 after failing to come to terms with St. Louis and was selected by Montreal in the fifth round, 152nd overall. Since turning professional prior to the 1998-99 season, Dwyer (6’ 3”, 215 lbs.) has played in 108 NHL games, recording 394 penalty minutes and five assists. In 159 AHL and International Hockey League games, he has recorded 12 goals, 16 assists (28 points) and 706 penalty minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony_ Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Like I said with Dackell, nice to see Gordie's useful with some other team. Last season I saw a Bulldog's game and Dwyer scored, was the funniest thing everyone went nuts and so did the Sportsnet announcers. They're reaction was as if they won the lottery or something.
