CJ-Stretch

10th year center C.J. Stretch(12) has three times scored 20+ goals, 4 times reached 30+ assists, four times ascended to 60+ points (three of those in Germany’s tier 2) and last season had a meager 51 as assistant captain for Orli Znojmo of EBEL.

The power forward signs with MAC Ujbuda of Slovakia Tipsport Liga for 2019/2020 and has continued to put up good numbers with 14 goals and 13 assists through 39 games, although he’s a bit of a miserable -14.

He did see a 62 point season with Ontario Reign of the ECHL, his third year pro.

His new best scoring 28 goals and 37 assists for 65 points in his 2nd campaign for Lowen Franfort comes a year after winning the 2017 DEL2 Championship.

The 30-year old is easily still having fun playing and contributing.

C.J. Stretch (12)

CJ-Stretch

Undrafted 5th year center C.J. Stretch(12) was a late signing for Bridgeport Sound Tigers after attending New York Islanders‘ training camp on a tryout.

He spent last season under contract with Oklahoma City Barons after playing well for the team on loan late in the campaign from Ontario Reign, where he spent the first three years of his pro career.

Upon his recall, he was having a career year, ultimately playing in 60 ECHL games with 28 goals, 34 assists and 62 points, all high marks.

The 6′ 192 lbs. forward would be returned to skate in 4 Kelly Cup contests, adding 5 more tallies to his totals.

He had contributed nicely while up as well, getting 5 goals and 3 assists in 17 AHL games.

Once his lower league club was knocked out of the playoffs, he was again summoned to join the Calder Cup push and went right to work, playing in another 17 games, improving his numbers by one with 5 goals and 4 assists in the playoffs.

The 25-year old started 2014/2015 as a healthy scratch but found his spot in the lineup as of game 2,  recorded 3 assists and has been a bit of a spark plug ever since.

He’s on pace to shatter last season’s total with 5 goals and 12 assists in 22 games and could be in line for his first NHL contract, if he can keep it up.

Original story: 12/8-14

Just shy of a few months later he would return to the more playoff bound Oklahoma City Barons and finish the 2014/2015 campaign with 10 goals, a new career high 27 assists and 37 points in the AHL.

He would only add another two helpers in 9 postseason match-ups.

Entering his 6th pro season the 26-year old heads overseas on a one-year deal with Starbulls Rosenheim of DEL2.

He should almost easily be a point-per-game guy in this league as he was in his third stint of ECHL action.
