PIPKINS WILL WEAR SKULL AND BONES!

The New Mexico Renegades are proud to announce the return of Matt Pipkins ('92- New Mexico Renegades WSHL) to the 2010-11 line-up.

Despite Pipkins' young age, the Renegades coaching staff expects "Pippy" to immediately take on a leadership role and lead by example.  His quiet and calm demeanor, along with his respect for others, makes him a very approachable veteran that is willing to help anyone on the team.  Don't be fooled though, while nice off the ice, he is unbelievably fierce on the pond.  He would level his girlfriend with an bone-crushing check if the Renegades needed that to win a game. 

Matt's dedication to the team now extends beyond the ice, as he discovered the weight room last year.  With the aid of Danny Chavez, there are no doubts that Matthew will continue to fill out his already large frame.  This season, the entire WSHL will be fully aware of his physical prescence and intimidating stature that will have Tier II scouts drooling over this prospect.

Pippy is not a one demensional player though.  Matt is a very dynamic defenseman who possesses a quick release from the point that creates scoring chances, especially on the Powerplay.  He also is defensive-minded, with the ability to make a strong first pass on the breakout.  The combination of Matthew's age, size and potential makes him an intriguing prospect.  With continued development, he will have choices at the Tier II level soon and NCAA eventually.

Welcome back to the Renegades Matt!
