FORMER TIGER ENNIS HEADED TO WILD

Medicine Hat, AB — Former Tiger Tyler Ennis is now a Minnesota Wild. After spending his entire NHL career in Buffalo Ennis will make his way to Minnesota this season to play with Zach Parise and the Wild. Also joining the Wild this offseason is Mason Shaw who was drafted by the club in the 4th Round last Saturday.
