Ferhi Picks up Win in Pro Hockey Debut

April 7, 2003

CLEVELAND, OH - Former Sacred Heart men's hockey goalie Eddy Ferhi (Charenton, France) made 28 saves in his professional hockey debut Sunday afternoon, helping the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the American Hockey League to a 4-2 win in the final game of the season.

Fehri signed a pro tryout contract with the Mighty Ducks earlier in the week and practiced with the team for a couple of days before making his start on Sunday against the Cleveland Barons.

The impressive opener for the Pioneer's all-time leader in goals against average and save percentage, means he stands a good chance in signing a two-way NHL contract with the parent club, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, for next season. Should that not happen, Ferhi has shown other general managers around the NHL that he is capable of being a solid professional goaltender.
