Perth, WA – Thunder’s latest import acquisition, Joe Tolles will be on 990AM tonight (15 May 2013) at 19:15.
Joe, a native of Toledo, Ohio, joins the Thunder after playing in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). The 25 year old, 6Ft tall defender, most recently played for the Wheeling Nailers, an ECHL affiliate for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens of the NHL.
Joe is a welcome acquisition to the Perth Thunder’s blue line, as it has been an area for concern and discussion by fans over the first few weeks of the season. The a-typical ‘stay at home’ defensemen will add some much needed size and physicality to the defensive corps and should be a great compliment to fellow ECHL players, Michael Forney and Matt Strueby, who will be leading the offensive charge.
Joe is in Perth and will travel with the team to Sydney this Friday to take on the Ice Dogs and Sydney Bears.
Tune into 990AM tonight to hear from Joe.
