Gems Sign Veteran Netminder Sterling, Release Westblom
Dayton, OH – The Dayton Gems professional hockey team, members of the Central Hockey League, announced today that they have signed veteran netminder Larry Sterling and have waived goalie Kristofer Westblom.
The 29 year old Sterling joins the Gems after most recently seeing action as a member of the CHL’s Mississippi RiverKings last season. A native of Lake Orion, Michigan, Sterling should be no stranger to Gems fans as he backstopped the IHL’s Port Huron IceHawks for three seasons, facing the Gems during their inaugural IHL campaign in 2009-2010. During his seven year pro career, Sterling has helped his clubs to the postseason five times and he will be in the lineup for the Gems this Thursday night.
The Gems have also placed goaltender Kristofer Westblom on waivers. The Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan native appeared in four games this season with the Gems.
