SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Bulls announced today that center Brett Parnham and right wing Dale Mitchell have agreed to terms and will join the Bulls’ Training Camp roster. Mitchell and Parnham, both 24 and come from solid backgrounds in hockey with Mitchell starting with the Oshawa Generals in 2005 and ending most recently with the Dornbirn EC in Austria and Parnham who was also on the same Oshawa Generals team in 2005 and last playing for the Arlan Kokshetau in Kazakhstan.

“Dale is an effective goal-scorer and a high NHL pick,” said SF Bulls President and Head Coach Pat Curcio. “He’s a proven winner with two Memorial Cups. Brett is a very skilled leader that will provide offense and leadership to our team.”

On playing in San Francisco, Mitchell said, “I’m excited to get back to North America and give myself an opportunity to play here. I want to succeed with San Francisco and hope to get a call up to the AHL. I’ve never played anywhere that’s warm during the winter, so I’m interested in experiencing that.”

Parnham, who played under Curcio in Utah said, “I’m looking forward to playing under Pat again. I know a handful of guys from playing in Oshawa and from my area: Belan, Mitchell and Josh Kidd. Belan has told me nothing but good things about the organization and city.”Both men will be intimidating on the ice as they are both 5’9″ and weigh a combined 392 pounds and have their fare share of penalty minutes. Parnham leads both men in penalty minutes lifetime with 319 minutes.
