Guest Instructor Mark Barberio Making his first forway into the NHL

What a week! This week Tiger Paw Guest instructors Mark Barberio and Alex Killorn received great news. Killer scored on Sunday April 7 to reach the top 10 of rookie scoring for the 2013 season, not bad for a guy who spent the first 10 games in the American Hockey League!

And, Mark Barberio was called up Monday to Tampa Bay Ligthning to make his NHL debut on Tuesday April 9th versus Ottawa. Then, his second game came on Thursday April 11 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The callup follows another season where Mark was selected to the American Hockey League All Star game, he has accumulated 8 goals, 32 assist for 40 points in 70 games with the Syracuse Crunch...not bad production for a defenseman.

Of course, all of you will remember, Mark was selected most outstanding defenseman of the American Hockey League last season.

" Hey, we could not be happier for Mark and Alex! What terrific news for the guys!" offered Tiger Paw Elite Summer Hockey School Director Chris Sides.
