hockeyfan Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 http://www.wildcattershockey.com/news/fullstory.php?id=478BEAUMONT, TX --Texas Wildcatters Head Coach Malcolm Cameron announced today the team has signed forward Jason Beeman to a contract for the 2007-08 season. Per club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.Beeman, a scrappy 5'11", 213 lb. forward who registered 25 points (8G-17A) and 155 PIM over 73 regular season and playoff games for the Wildcatters in 2006-07, is the first announced signing for the 2007-08 season.While better known for his physical play in the corners and occasional fights, Cameron expects Beeman's role to grow into one of goal scorer as he enters his second full season in the ECHL. "Jason is tough as nails and is certainly capable of putting the puck in the net. While it was not his role last year, we certainly see him as more of an offensive contributor this season. We are extremely excited to have him back in the fold for another year."Beeman, who registered 60 points (29G-31A) while accumulating 121 PIM in 65 games with the Tri-City Americans of the WHL in 2005-06, is glad to be remaining in Southeast Texas and eagerly anticipates what he views as a return to a role that comes naturally to him. "It's great to be back, to continue to build tradition here with Coach Cameron," the 21-year old forward said from his Los Angeles home Tuesday, "I want to put more goals in the net this season but still play that physical role, and it's great to be doing it as a Wildcatter."
