New Jersey Native Rejoins Trenton
The Trenton Devils announced yesterday they they have agreed to terms with center Jim Henkel. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Hailing from Hazlet, NJ, the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder returns for his third season with Trenton.
Henkel, 28, tallied 21 goals, 29 assists and 52 penalties in minutes last season, while tying a team season-high with 69 games played.
During his first year with Trenton in 2004-05, Henkel ranked second on the team in goals (22) and points (47) and added 25 assists.
The sixth-year pro made a splash in his rookie season, posting career highs of 32 goals and 36 assists while helping to lead the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies to to the 2003 Kelly Cup and was named to the Northern Conference All-Star Team.
Originally selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the eighth round (#217 overall) of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Henkel was a four-year letterman at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1998-2002).
Henkel is the sixth player to sign with the Trenton Devils for the 2007-08 season, joining forwards Andrew Leach and Tony Zancanaro and defensemen Matt Cohen, Ryan Gunderson and Stephen Wood.
