Jul 30, 2008

Austin Balko has signed to don the Silver, Black and Orange for another year.

“Fast, good hands, good vision, good skill. Austin is a big resigning”.
“With his speed, on the penalty kill with (Zach) Kohn, those guys were constantly a threat to create a breakaway opportunity”.

“Austin isn\’t shy about throwing the body, and he\’s always good for a big hit every game”.

“When you get one of your top 3 scorers back for another year it can\’t help but be an asset to your team”.

“Austin has a great attitude, he works hard on and off the ice, and he\’s a great presence in the lockerroom”.

Rhinos Head Coach Cory Herman

“Great kid to play with, unselfish, can finish, and great speed.”
“His compete level is very high and he never quits on broken plays”.
“Austin takes pride in his play away from the puck and is a valuable asset for us on the penalty kill as well as the power play”.
