The 29-year-old Pointe-aux-Trembles, Quebec-native spent the last five seasons with the Atlanta Thrashers, who selected him in the Expansion Draft on June 25, 1999. As Tremblay is an unsigned NHL free agent, he will stay with Mannheim trough the end of the season whether or not the lockout continues.

Yannick Tremblay is expected to arrive in Germany next Monday and will likely make his first DEL appearance when the Adler Mannheim host the Kölner Haie January 21.

His mighty point shot makes Tremblay (6'2", 200lbs) an excellent contributor on the man advantage. He was bothered by injuries lately. Due to a hip injury, he missed the final 29 games of the 2003-04 NHL season. He also missed 13 games earlier that season with a bruised foot.

Tremblay, who was drafted 145th overall in the 1995 Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, recorded 122 points (37 goals, 85 assists) and 166 penalty minutes in 378 games in the National Hockey League for the Leafs and the Thrashers since 1996-97. He never appeared in an NHL playoff game. Tremblay played his junior hockey for the Beauport Harfangs of the QMJHL and also played in 87 AHL games for the Baby Leafs in St. John's between 1995 and 1997.

Augsburg signs Boston University product Rich Brennan

The Augsburger Panther Thursday announced the signing of defenseman Rich Brennan throughout the end of the season. The 32-year-old Schenectady, New York-native, who started the 2004-05 season with SC Bern of the Swiss League, is expected to make his debut tonight when Augsburg visits the DEG Metro Stars.

After a college career at Boston University, Brennan was selected by the Quebec Nordiques in the third round (46th overall) of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. He only appeared in 51 career NHL games for the Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins between 1996 and 2003, recording 2 goals and 6 assists (33 penalty minutes).

Brennan spent most of his career in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he tallied 294 points in 480 games with the Cornwall Aces, Hershey Bears, Kentucky Thoroughblades, Hartford Wolfpack, Lowell Lock Monsters, Milwaukee Admirals, Manchester Monarchs and Providence Bruins.
