[caps05]

LOVELAND, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles of the ECHL, affiliate of the NHL's Winnipeg Jets & the AHL's St. John's IceCaps, announced today the re-signing of two defensive stalwarts, veteran defenseman Jason Beatty & goaltender Kyle Jones. Each player is coming off arguably the best season of his career.

Beatty returns for his sixth year with the Eagles, and is coming off a season that saw him record a career-high in goals (5) despite playing in just 41 games. In 266 games with Colorado, the 6-foot-1-inch, 225-pound defenseman has recorded 53 points and 461 penalty minutes.

Jones led the ECHL in wins last season (31), ranked 2nd in saves (1,373) and 3rd in minutes (2,951). The netminder ranks 2nd on the Eagles' all-time wins list, accumulating a record of 60-25-7 over the past two seasons. A former D-III standout, Jones was also the starting goalie for the All-Star team in the 2011 CHL All-Star game.
