The Toledo Blade’s Mark Monroe reports that the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye inked a scoring forward two weeks before the start of the ECHL season:
The Toledo Walleye have signed Matt Berry, a forward who has averaged nearly a point per game in the ECHL in five seasons.
Berry, a native of Canton, Mich., has amassed 165 points in 171 career ECHL contests. Berry has scored 67 goals to go along with 98 assists. The 29-year-old has played for Utah, Florida, and Kalamazoo in the ECHL. He has also a plus-minus rating of plus-54 in those games.
Berry also has played in 62 games in the American Hockey League, producing 22 points (7 G, 15 A).
Walleye coach Dan Watson said Berry will bring an offensive touch to the team.
“He will be counted on heavily to play against other teams’ top players, contribute on the power play, and provide leadership,” Watson said.
