Eagles Make a Couple of Roster Moves

Filipic Placed on IR, Amateur Tresierra Signed

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. - The Governors' Cup champion Colorado Eagles announced today that forward Fraser Filipic has been placed on season-ending IR, and that they've signed amateur defenseman/forward Jessie Tresierra (tres-ERA).  The sixth-year Eagle was injured in Game 1 of the Northern Conference Finals against the Mississippi RiverKings.  Colorado will look to sweep that series tonight and advance to their fourth President's Cup Finals in six years.

It has been a tough year for Filipic on the injury front, as he missed the first half of the regular season while recovering from another major injury.  After joining the lineup on December, 30, Filipic registered seven points (1-6-7) and 112 penalty minutes in 30 games played. 

Through five playoff games, he registered one point and eight PIMs.  His lone point came in the form of an overtime, game-winning goal in Game 3 of the Northern Conference Semifinals against the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.

Filipic, noted as one of the CHL's toughest fighters, has played 276 career games (four below the veteran limit) for the Eagles, joining the team in its inaugural season of 2003-04.  In that time he's tallied 110 points (40-70-110) and owns the franchise record for penalty minutes with 1,184.

"Unfortunately, we've lost Fraser for the remainder of this season on the ice, but we won't lose his leadership in the locker room," said Eagles President and General Manager Chris Stewart.  "He will continue to travel with the team and provide the same personality and leadership off the ice that's helped us get where we are this season."

"Jessie is a young kid that we've brought in to add depth just like Justin DaCosta who was signed earlier this round and has performed very well.  Jessie's certainly got a physical presence and should have no problem helping fill that void from the loss of Fraser.  He's been working with the team for a while now, learning the system, and should be able to step right into the lineup."

Tresierra (6-foot-2-inches, 240-pounds) played the past three seasons for the Langley Chiefs of the BCHL, posting 88 points (19-69-88) and 415 penalty minutes in 167 games. 

This past season, he tallied 11 goals, 35 assists and 110 PIMs in 66 games.  He also acted as team captain and was awarded the team's Orland Kurtenbach award as Top Defenseman.  Tresierra was also named the Chief's Most Improved Player in 2006-07.  He will wear #8 for the Eagles.
