Squirrels Trade Tessar to Rangers

Tess and his wife, Megan.

Mark Tessar played his final game for the Screaming Squirrels Friday, and will now ship off to New York where he will join his favorite team, the Rangers. In return, the Squirrels received nothing.

Since 2010, Tess played 150 games with the Squirrels, plus another 22 in the playoffs, for both ice and roller. This includes nine ice seasons. He scored 159 goals and had 103 assists, not including multiple shootout goals. He won one roller championship and was a member of three ice championships. He led the roller team in three of his five seasons, and led the league in 2011.

Now, he will move to New York with his wife, Megan, where he will work and play hockey for some other team on the downside of his athletic career. The Squirrels sent off Tess with a ticker-tape parade, including balloons and confetti, plus shots of Yuengling and punches to the gut.
