The Screaming Squirrels picked up free-agent Chris Wautel from rival the 5 Holes, after the 5 Holes decided to trim down their roster.
Wautel, who the Squirrels have played against for years while he was on Mors ab Alto and the 5 Holes, is bound to greatly improve the Squirrels’ scoring numbers in 2007. He had 35 goals and 16 assists for 51 points in 2006, figuring into nearly half of the 5 Holes’ scoring.
The Screaming Squirrels unanimously approved adding Wautel to the roster while trading stories of roughing him up and shutting him down (though he scored a goal or two to haunt the Squirrels.)
He will be #96.
