Rays Sign Goaltender Peter Di Salvo

The South Carolina Stingrays, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and AHL’s Hershey Bears, announced today that they have agreed to terms with goaltender Peter Di Salvo.

Di Salvo, 30, appeared in 21 contests with the Southern Professional Hockey League’s (SPHL) Knoxville Ice Bears this season, posting a 10-6-4 record with a goals-against average of 2.67 and a save percentage of 0.909. He also made two playoff appearances and posted a 2.61 GAA along with a 0.932 save percentage.

The eighth-year pro has played 215 career games in the SPHL with seven teams and holds the league’s career wins record with 105 victories. In addition, Di Salvo has seen action in 15 ECHL contests with Colorado, Allen, Adirondack and Wichita.

The Oakville, Ontario native won an SPHL Championship in 2014 with the Pensacole Ice Flyers and was named to the league’s Second All-Star Team as a member of the Mississippi RiverKings in 2014-15.

Di Salvo has also spent parts of two seasons overseas with the Perth Thunder of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL).
