North Grenville native signed in ECHL

The Newfoundland Growlers, affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs, have signed forward Anthony McVeigh, 26, to a ECHL contract. Born in Kemptville, where his father is GM of Myers auto dealership, Anthony signed originally for the Carleton Place Canadians in 2009, and spent five seasons with them, racking up 53 goals, 58 assists, and 111 points, before moving to Utica College for four seasons. Anthony played in five leagues over the course of his career so far, playing for eight teams before being signed by the Growlers.

The strange part of his career is that he was never signed by the Kemptville 73’s. And given that team’s failure to make the play-offs this year, that may cause some hindsight heartache.
