Rage signs one, trades one
The Rocky Mountain Rage signed winger Dorian Anneck, whom the Broomfield-based hockey team acquired in July in a trade with the Memphis RiverKings.
The Rage also traded forward Matt Reynolds, who played last season for Fort Worth, to the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees in exchange for future considerations.
Anneck had 16 goals and 28 assists in 46 games for Memphis last season. He was a third-round pick by Winnipeg in the 1994 NHL draft.
