Flint signs ex-WMU goalie Marvin

The Flint Generals have signed goaltender Eric Marvin for the upcoming 2007-2008 season.

Marvin played seven games for the Generals after his collegiate career at Western Michigan University in 2006.

The 24-year-old from Naperville, Ill., was a member of the Laredo Bucks in the Central Hockey League last season and posted a 20-8-4 record along with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.

“Eric is a top notch goaltender,” said Flint head coach Kevin Kerr. “He was a big reason that the Laredo Bucks went to the playoffs and made the finals last season.”

"I’m excited to be included in rebuilding the tradition,” said Marvin. “Working with The Perani Group, front office personnel and the coaching staff is something to be proud of. We’ll have a young, exciting team that should immediately compete for an IHL championship.”
